This cutting board from "woodpecker" is made from a single slab of domestically sourced ginkgo wood.
In addition to its finely textured and smooth feel, its soft form beautifully enhances any space. Furthermore, ginkgo wood is soft and elastic, making it resistant to damage for both knives and the cutting board itself, ensuring it can be used and cherished for a long time. As you use it, the ginkgo cutting board will develop a deeper character, allowing you to enjoy its transformation with every meal you prepare.
〈 Amanobou's monologue 〉
This ginkgo wood cutting board, crafted by artisans, makes the most of the natural beauty of the wood. The cloud-like shape of this charming cutting board is self-standing, allowing for excellent drainage and superior functionality. Simply standing it up creates a beautiful ambiance. The medium size is recommended for those living alone or with one other person, and its frequent usability is a major draw. The smooth, pleasant feel, the unique grain patterns of each piece, and the soft form will make you grow fonder of it the more you use it.

woodpecker
woodpecker is a woodworking brand founded by Kenji Fukui, who was born into a family of traditional woodturners 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 created a ginkgo wood cutting board at his wife's request. His wife's reaction, moved by its ease of use and beauty, inspired Fukui with the determination to "pursue my own unique style of craftsmanship," leading to the establishment of woodpecker.
Fukui has a deep understanding of the weight, hardness, and density of various woods, and he creates tools that are perfectly suited for everyday life. He provides tools that can be cherished and used for a long time, encouraging appreciation of the natural texture and aroma of the materials through all five senses. Furthermore, he creates tools that make daily tasks more enjoyable. He is a craftsman who conveys the comfort of living with wood through these tools.
