I made a ginkgo wood cutting board. It's compact and lightweight, making it highly recommended. Ginkgo wood has been favored by chefs and cooks for a long time. Its characteristics include: ① Soft, so it doesn't damage knives easily. ② Good blade feel, making it comfortable to use a knife. ③ Resilient, so it's easy for scratches to disappear. ④ Strong antibacterial properties. ⑤ Lightweight and resistant to warping. Even if it gets stained, scratched, or blackened, it can be restored to a new surface by re-sanding. Because it's a single piece of wood, it's a very valuable material. 【Maintenance】 Wet it with water before use. Wipe off any excess water before using. This reduces color and odor transfer. After use, wash it as soon as possible with a brush, scrubbing along the grain. We recommend washing with water as much as possible, without using detergent. If you use detergent, rinse thoroughly with water. After washing, wipe it with a clean cloth, and then use a stand or similar to prop it up in a well-ventilated place to dry. Drying in direct sunlight can cause warping. Please refrain from using a dishwasher. ■Size: Width 300mm, Depth 205mm, Thickness 23mm ■Material: Single piece of ginkgo wood ■Finish: Unfinished ※ The grain and color may differ between the photos and the actual product due to lighting conditions.
