Jesus keychain made from urban wood

This design is inspired by a wooden decoration that my parents have had in their living room for a number of years. I really like the design because of the subtlety of it; often it takes people several looks to "see between the lines" and figure out what it says. It is currently available in black cherry wood from western Michigan.

The keychains are protected with food safe cutting board oil. Additional mineral oil can be applied at any time if the wood starts looking dry.

Utilizing yard trees for wood is one of the most eco-friendly and sustainable ways to source lumber as it does not contribute to deforestation or environmental destruction. It also gives a positive outcome for trees that are lost due to disease, pests, or construction, and gives additional positive value to the urban forest. Making a conscious decision to purchase products made from urban wood is a way of showing support for the urban forest and local craftsman.
