This keychain makes a great unique and customized gift! It is made from sustainably sourced solid cherry hardwood. The braille dots are raised and can be readily felt. The upper limit to the number of characters, including spaces and punctuation, is around 12 characters. I can do more than 12 characters but the dots must be quite small so the legibility by touch might be compromised.

My biggest priority is making sure that what you purchase is exactly what you are looking for, so please feel free to message me with your ideas and I'd be happy to draw up the design for you before I make it. It would bum me out if you receive something that you aren't happy with because you were nervous to contact me about it, so trust me when I say I am happy to help. :)

The wood part of the keychain measures approximately 2.6" by 0.5". 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.

The keychain is also available as a necklace, and additionally is available with the dots cut out which provides a unique visual appeal but is not felt so easily. The alternatives can be found on my shop page.

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.
