This is a California shaped keychain made from reclaimed wood. The cherry wood is from an urban sawmill in western Michigan, and the oak and walnut is from an urban sawmill in Madison, Wisconsin. Both sawmills only use wood that was processed from street trees around the city.
By default I will make it as just a cut out of the state, but I would be happy to engrave the wood with a heart, star, or other symbol anywhere on the state -- just mention it when placing the order. As shown, it has a heart cut out at Dayton, Ohio.
The wood measures approximately 2.5 inches by 1.5 inch. The wood is 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.
