The Board?...or the board?

While on holiday I had a chance to hob knob with the Fam. One of my big projects was to make a few Go boards. Every time I would talk about the board I was working on, I would automatically think of the Board, as in the 100 Hour Board. Immediately after saying something like "We just need to finish sanding the board" or "should we use a laser or a woodburner to do the grid on the board", "which board do we want to work on today?", or "should we put miter, or butt joints on the board?"; I would always want to clarify by saying "not the 100 Hour Board, but the Go board".
