There is only one of these, and there will never be another.

Caomhan is a board of two halves. One side is a single broad panel of deep, chocolate-toned American black walnut, its grain flowing the full length of the board. The other is pale, straight-grained American white ash, divided by three crisp pinstripes of vivid purpleheart. It's a calm, bold layout, and no other board in the collection shares it, so the board you see in these photos is the board you'll receive.

Every board gets its own Scottish Gaelic name, inlaid into its side. This one is Caomhan (pronounced KUH-van), meaning "gentle" or "kind one", the Gaelic counterpart of Kevin. Each name is used only once, so it's a mark of a one-off piece made to be used and handed down.

  • Board No.: CTD-G-0010
  • Size: 470 × 300 × 30 mm
  • Weight: 2.5 kg
  • Timbers: American black walnut, American white ash, purpleheart
  • Finish: Beeswax and oil
  • Care: Hand wash and dry upright. Re-oil now and then. Never soak it or put it in the dishwasher.

Purpleheart naturally deepens to a richer purple-brown with exposure to light, so your board will develop its own character over time.

A board for everyday cooking, a serving platter for the table, and a gift that carries its own story.
