Gingko Wood Cutting Board S by Yamacoh

Handmade in Japan from a solid piece of wood, Gingko is a favorite cutting board for chefs and home cooks alike. 

Grown and harvested throughout Japan, Gingko wood is a straight grained soft wood that is often light brown and orangish in color. It is characterized as medium in texture and a litter heavier than many cypress alternatives. But like Hinoki, Gingko is antimicrobial and dries fast, which makes it easy to work with.

Care and use: This cutting board is made of one solid piece of Gingko which is great because composite wood boards (made of 2 or more wood pieces) are much more likely warp with use. However, care should be taken when using this product. Please keep in mind this is a highly absorbent wood and it can warp or crack if exposed to excessive heat or rapid temperature changes. 

-Try to briefly wet the board with water before any use and or cleaning with soap or bleach. 

-Try to avoid excessive use of soap or bleach. This may damage the natural oils in the wood.

-Avoid putting the board away wet. Hand drying with a towel generally works well. 

-Avoid storing the board in damp, humid or excessively hot areas. And avoid direct sunlight.

Please note: Untreated raw wood may warp over time. Likewise, there is the possibility of small cracks to occur in the wood. We do not accept returns for warped or cracked wood.
