woodpecker's Ginkgo Wood Cutting Board: A Harmony of Tradition and Innovation

The ginkgo wood cutting boards are crafted by Kenji Fukui, who was born and raised in Gifu Prefecture. Born into a family of traditional woodturners, Mr. Fukui deeply understands the importance of living with wood and has honed his woodworking skills over many years. The origin of his craftsmanship lies in the everyday moments within his family. Making a ginkgo wood cutting board for his family reignited his passion for woodworking.

Mr. Fukui is deeply knowledgeable about the characteristics of various woods and dedicates himself to creating optimal tools for each material. Made from natural ginkgo wood and finished with his unique techniques, these cutting boards are not only beautiful but also practical and durable. Mr. Fukui's cutting boards are more than just tools; they are cherished items that adorn many family dining tables.

Moreover, Mr. Fukui continues to meticulously craft useful tools for everyday life, utilizing the properties of wood. He incorporates ingenuity to make daily tasks enjoyable, offering tools that allow one to experience the feel and scent of natural materials with all five senses. Through these tools, he is an artisan who spreads the comfort of living with wood.

Ginkgo Wood Cutting Board: A Favorite of Chefs, Built to Last

This cutting board is a masterpiece crafted from a single piece of domestic ginkgo wood. Ginkgo wood is characterized by its moderate elasticity and antibacterial properties, providing a gentle feel for knife blades and exceptional durability. Furthermore, it drains well and dries quickly, making it a safe material to use while maintaining kitchen hygiene.

Its ease of use, long favored by professional chefs, truly speaks to its quality as a craftsman's tool. Once you use it, you'll find it indispensable for cooking.

A New Form of Cutting Board: Gentle Curves and Cloud-Inspired Design

Ginkgo cutting boards come in a rich variety of designs and sizes.
The simple rectangular type features gentle curves rather than typical sharp angles, bringing a soft and charming design to your kitchen.
Sizes are also available to suit various uses, from small secondary cutting boards to larger ones that provide ample workspace, ensuring you can find the perfect board for your kitchen and usage scenario.

The Joy of Everyday Cooking with a Ginkgo Cutting Board

I use the medium size, which is versatile for everything from cutting everyday vegetables to slicing bread and fruit. Ginkgo cutting boards prevent ingredients from slipping, allowing for smooth knife movements with minimal effort, which is a welcome feature when preparing food for long periods. It's perfect for making morning salads or slicing homemade bread on weekends. Its substantial thickness also makes it safe to use for preparing meat and fish.

Easy Care: Ginkgo Cutting Board and Palm Bristle Brush

To care for your ginkgo cutting board, simply rinse it with water after use and wipe it with a clean cloth. Its quick-drying nature means it can be propped up in a corner of the kitchen and ready for its next use in no time. For washing the cutting board, a "shuro (palm bristle) brush" is highly recommended. It's a comfortable size for women's hands, featuring a flexible texture and soft feel. It's perfect for cleaning cutting boards as it can scrub out dirt lodged deep within the wood grain. Furthermore, its high water resistance and durability are added benefits.

If grease stains are a concern, occasionally polishing it lightly with a cleanser will help maintain its pristine condition.

Stability and Drying Efficiency: Choosing a Cutting Board Stand

In addition to the "shuro (palm bristle) brush," which pairs perfectly with the ginkgo cutting board, a cutting board stand is also recommended. Designed to stably hold any size, from large to mini cutting boards, it uses stainless steel rods to minimize contact with the board, promoting easy drying. Available in two types, for one or two boards, it balances storage and practicality in the kitchen.

For Long-Lasting Use: Maintenance Guide

Here is a comparison image of a ginkgo cutting board after 10 years of use (right) and after re-planing (left).

While a well-used cutting board may show stains and small scratches from years of use, this board can be restored to a like-new condition through "re-planing."

woodpecker's re-planing service involves thinly shaving the surface with a plane, bringing out a fresh wooden surface from within. Due to the thickness of the wood, this re-planing can be done at least three times, allowing for many years of cherished use.

By taking the extra step of maintenance, the cutting board can become beautiful and usable again for a long time—this is the charm of wooden cutting boards.
