This "woodpecker" cutting board is made from a single slab of domestically sourced ginkgo wood.
Its fine, smooth texture and soft form beautifully adorn any space. Furthermore, ginkgo wood is soft and elastic, making it resistant to damage from knives, and ensuring both the knife and cutting board will last for a long time. As you use it, the ginkgo wood cutting board will deepen in character, allowing you to enjoy its transformation every time you cook.

woodpecker
woodpecker is a woodworking brand founded by Kenji Fukui, who comes from a family of traditional wood turners in Gifu Prefecture.
With the concept of "living with wood," he launched his own brand in 2008. The brand's origin lies in a single cutting board that Fukui made for his wife. Having studied woodworking techniques and trained at a furniture manufacturer, Fukui crafted a ginkgo wood cutting board at his wife's request. His wife's感動した reaction to its ease of use and beauty inspired Fukui to pursue "my own style of craftsmanship," leading to the establishment of woodpecker.
Fukui possesses a deep understanding of the weight, hardness, and density of various types of wood, creating tools that are optimal for everyday life. He provides tools that can be cherished for a long time through careful maintenance, allowing you to enjoy the tactile feel and scent of natural materials with all your senses. Furthermore, he creates tools that make daily tasks more enjoyable. He is a craftsman who conveys the comfort of a life with wood through these tools.
