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

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

Fukui possesses a deep understanding of various wood properties and dedicates himself to creating tools optimally suited for each material. Made from natural ginkgo wood and finished with his unique techniques, these cutting boards offer not only aesthetic beauty but also ease of use and durability. Fukui's cutting boards are not merely tools; they are cherished items that adorn the family dining table, loved by many.

Furthermore, Fukui continues to meticulously craft useful tools for everyday life, leveraging the unique characteristics of wood. He incorporates ingenuity to make daily tasks enjoyable, offering tools that allow one to experience the natural touch and aroma of natural materials with all five senses. He is a craftsman who promotes the comfort of living with wood through these tools.

A Long-Lasting Ginkgo Cutting Board, Beloved by Chefs

This cutting board is a masterpiece crafted from a single piece of domestically sourced ginkgo wood. Ginkgo wood is characterized by its moderate elasticity and antibacterial properties, providing a gentle feel for knife blades and offering long-lasting durability. Furthermore, it drains water well and dries quickly, making it a safe material for maintaining kitchen hygiene.

Its user-friendliness, favored by chefs since ancient times, truly speaks to its quality as a professional tool. Once you use this cutting board, it becomes an indispensable item for cooking, one you won't want to let go of.

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

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

Additionally, there's a cloud-shaped design that can be used not only as a cutting board but also as a serving platter for food, showcasing its charm on the dining table.
This design combines adorable aesthetics with practical functionality.

The Joy of Daily Cooking with a Ginkgo Cutting Board

I use the medium size. It’s widely used for cutting everyday vegetables, as well as bread and fruits. The ginkgo cutting board prevents food from slipping, allowing the knife to glide smoothly with light force, which is a welcome feature for long prep times. It’s perfect for making morning salads or cutting homemade bread on weekends. Its substantial thickness also makes it safe for preparing meat and fish.

Easy Care: Ginkgo Cutting Board and Palm Scrub Brush

After use, simply rinse the ginkgo cutting board with water and wipe it with a clean cloth. It dries quickly, so you can prop it up in a corner of the kitchen, ready for its next use. For washing the cutting board, a "shuro (palm fiber) scrub brush" is highly recommended. It fits comfortably in a woman's hand, characterized by its flexible texture and soft feel. It's perfect for cutting board care as it can scrub out dirt embedded deep in the wood grain. Another great feature is its high water resistance and durability.

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

Stability and Drying Innovation: Choosing a Cutting Board Stand

In addition to the "shuro (palm fiber) scrub 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 cutting board, enhancing drying efficiency. We offer two types: for one board and for two boards, combining storage and practicality in the kitchen.

≫ Cutting Board Stand for 2 Boards

For Long-Lasting Use – Maintenance Guide

This is a comparison image of a ginkgo cutting board used for 10 years (right side) and a freshly planed board (left side).

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

Woodpecker's resurfacing service involves thinly planing the surface to reveal fresh wood underneath. Thanks to its substantial thickness, such resurfacing can be done at least three times, allowing for many years of cherished use.

With a little maintenance, the cutting board becomes beautiful and usable again for a long time – this is the charm of wooden cutting boards.
