Skipjack Tuna Copper Backsplash — Blue Water, Hand-Hammered
The skipjack — built for speed, built for open water — in full side profile, every detail hand-hammered in raised copper relief. The streamlined torpedo body, the distinctive dark stripes running along the lower flanks, the forked crescent tail, the finlets behind the dorsal and anal fins, the small sharp pectoral fin. No frame, no border — the fish fills the entire panel, the textured background running to every edge. The copper catches the light across the body differently as you move past — the stripes reading in the relief, the whole fish mid-run on the wall.
Hand-hammered from flat copper sheet in our family workshop. Every scale, every stripe, every fin formed by hand. Made to your exact dimensions. 15 finishes. Over 10,000 pieces installed.

The Full Kitchen Wall
The tuna behind the stove. The open ocean behind the sink. The kitchen tells the whole story.
Most customers start with this panel centered behind the range — then add side panels to run the full wall cabinet to cabinet. The sides don’t repeat the tuna. We design what belongs beside it: open water, a school of fish breaking the surface, flying fish scattering ahead of the school. One continuous blue water scene, designed as a whole, shown to you as a mockup before anything is made.
Send us your wall dimensions or a photo of your kitchen and we’ll design the full set.
What Else Could Go in This Space
The tuna buyer usually has a coastal home, a boat, or a deep connection to the open ocean. Here’s what that home looks like — these are examples of the kind of designs we’d create, not a fixed menu. Your version gets designed for your space.
Above the fireplace — imagine a school of tuna panel above the mantle — five or six skipjack running together, the formation filling the panel, the ocean implied by the movement. A different composition from the kitchen panel — the single fish behind the stove, the school above the fire.
Sink wall — imagine an ocean surface panel behind the sink — the view from just below the waterline, light breaking through from above, the silhouettes of fish moving through the blue. The kitchen faces the ocean from both walls.
Entryway — imagine your boat name or home name in hand-lettered copper — “Blue Runner” or “The Harrington” — with a skipjack or tuna above the lettering. The house announces what matters here.
Outdoor kitchen or covered patio — imagine a Pacific or Atlantic horizon panel on the outdoor wall: open water, a distant squall, seabirds working the surface. The outdoor kitchen has no walls — just ocean. Fully weatherproof, sealed for outdoor use.
Bathroom — imagine a single tuna hook or a hand-tied lure rendered in copper detail on the vanity backsplash. The most specific thing in the house. The most blue water.
Send us photos of any space and tell us what you have in mind. We’ll take it from there.

Custom Sizes & Layouts
Custom Sizes & Layouts
Every backsplash is made specifically for your kitchen.
Order a single backsplash behind the stove, matching side panels beneath your cabinets, or a complete kitchen backsplash designed for your full layout.
Outlets, switches, pot fillers, windows, vents, and other cutouts can usually be incorporated into the design.
If your exact size is not listed, simply send us your approximate width × height after ordering. We usually add custom sizes quickly.
For the best fit, measure the finished opening and subtract approximately ⅛ inch from each side. This small installation allowance is normally unnoticeable and helps create an easier installation and professional result.
