Georgia made
Handcrafted cutting boards in Georgia
I make each cutting board individually in my Johns Creek workshop after an order is confirmed, using hardwoods I pick board by board. My cutting, charcuterie, and serving boards are made for kitchens across Georgia and beyond. Boards start at $50. Custom boards take at least two weeks after you approve the details.
The studio
Built in Johns Creek, used everywhere
I’m Ishtyaq Qadri (Wosta), and I founded Koshur Chaan in 2015. I build every board individually from black walnut, hard maple, cherry, or a combination of these hardwoods. Pricing depends on the wood, dimensions, and design, with boards starting at $50.
Customers in Johns Creek and nearby towns can pick up at the studio by appointment, and I ship anywhere in the U.S.
What I build
I build edge-grain cutting boards, charcuterie boards and serving boards in walnut, hard maple, cherry, or a mix of them. I don’t make end-grain boards or offer engraving; custom work focuses on useful sizes, wood combinations, edges, juice grooves, handles and feet.
Every piece is milled, glued, sanded, oiled and checked in my Johns Creek workshop. Browse the handmade boards → · See custom board options → · Read the board care guide →

Georgia Grown
Georgia Grown cutting boards
Koshur Chaan is a member of Georgia Grown, the Georgia Department of Agriculture’s program for Georgia-made products. It means these boards are made in-state, by hand, one at a time.
Why choose them
Why choose a Georgia-made board
Made in-state
Every board from this studio is built in Johns Creek from black walnut, hard maple and cherry. Nothing is outsourced or mass-produced.
Easy to get
Pick up in Johns Creek by appointment, or have your board shipped anywhere in the U.S. Customers come from Alpharetta, Suwanee, Duluth, Atlanta and beyond.
Gifts with a story
These boards make good housewarming, wedding and closing gifts, especially for someone who loves buying local.
Food-safe finish
Every board is finished with food-grade mineral oil and beeswax board butter. No varnish, lacquer or polyurethane.
Custom sizes
Tell me where the board will live and how you cook, and I’ll suggest a size and wood. Plan a custom hardwood board.
Built to last
With hand washing and monthly oiling, a hardwood board lasts for decades, and a light sanding brings it back when it’s worn.
How it works
Ordering from a Georgia studio
Start by describing the board you want: the size, the wood and how you plan to use it. I reply within one business day with a quote and an estimated finish date, and you pay nothing until you approve it.
Custom boards take at least two weeks after you approve the details. More involved designs or a busy order queue may take longer; I’ll confirm the estimated completion date with your quote. Before a board ships, I send a photo so you can see the finished piece.
Pick up at the studio in Johns Creek by appointment, or have your board shipped anywhere in the U.S., packed with care instructions. Either way, your board comes straight from the person who made it. If you are not sure what to order, describe the kitchen and the cook, and I will recommend a board that fits both.
