Washington DC Flag Keychain - Made in the USA - Washington DC Housewarming - District of Columbia Souvenir

I recently visited Washington DC and I was struck by how neat the flag looked so I decided to make some keychains based on it! The design of the flag is based on George Washington's coat of arms. This would make a perfect gift for someone moving to D.C. for work or school, or as a reminder of home for someone that grew up there.

The wood part of the keychain measures approximately 2.1" x 1.1". The cherry wood is sourced from street trees in the western Michigan area that have been removed due to construction or storm damage -- not their timber value. After I pick out the wood at the sawmill, I personally process it through a long series of planing and sawing steps, and I finally laser cut it and apply a hand-rubbed oil finish.

Because wood is a natural material, there is some variation in the wood grain and color therefore no two keychains will ever be exactly alike.

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.
