Wayne Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 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. Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sanders Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 I know the wood is used for cutting boards in Japan. -Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janel Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 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. Janel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
