Does anyone have information as to the use of ginkgo wood as a carving material? We are probably all familiar with the tree and it's foul smell but I have never seen it referenced as a carving material or having been worked in any form. Janel tells me that only the female tree has the odor.

I know the wood is used for cutting boards in Japan.

Yes, female trees make the fruit, which falls to the ground and rots. Yuck. Avoid stepping on them with any avoidance technique you might be able to muster.
