Kashmiri Craftsmanship Meets Georgia Woodworking

Koshur Chaan. In Kashmiri, it means "Kashmiri Carpenter." Two words that carry a world of meaning — craft, heritage, and the quiet dignity of making something beautiful with your hands.

I'm Wosta. By day, I'm a Clinician — work I find deeply purposeful. But there's another side of me that lives in a Georgia studio, surrounded by the smell of fresh-cut walnut and the sound of a hand plane finding its rhythm. That's where Koshur Chaan was born.

How It Started

There's something medicine and woodworking share that most people don't expect: both demand that you slow down, pay attention, and care about what's in front of you.

I didn't grow up a woodworker. I grew up Kashmiri — rooted in a culture where artisan craft isn't a hobby, it's a heritage. Kashmiris have shaped wood, woven fabric, and carved stone for centuries. When I first picked up a hand tool and felt a rough piece of hardwood become something smooth, functional, and alive with grain, something clicked. This was familiar. This was mine.

What started as a creative outlet became a calling. Each board I make carries that lineage — the hands of a heritage I'm proud of, the precision of a clinician, and the warmth of someone who genuinely loves what he does.

Why Handmade Still Matters

Koshur Chaan Woodworking is based in Johns Creek, Georgia, part of the greater Atlanta area. Every cutting board, charcuterie board, and custom piece is shaped, sanded, and finished right here, by hand, in small batches, using premium American hardwoods like walnut, cherry, maple, and purple heart. The finish is FDA food-contact safe, ultra-pure, and certified vegetarian. Nothing hidden. Nothing mass-produced. I don't run a factory. I run a studio. That means every piece gets my full attention, and no two are exactly alike.

When you hold a Koshur Chaan board, you're holding something made by someone who cares — about the wood, about the craft, and about the person it's going to. Whether it becomes a daily kitchen workhorse, a centerpiece for your table, or a gift someone will keep for decades, it was made with that weight in mind.

That's the Kashmiri carpenter in me. That's Koshur Chaan.
