Personalized San Francisco map keychain made in the USA -- laser cut wood map -- housewarming gift -- Wedding gift -- minimalist map

The keychain by default is San Francisco as shown without a star cutout. If you would like to have a star or heart somewhere on the map, please leave a note to me when ordering with location details. Also the keychain as shown is zoomed in on San Francisco but I also can have it focused anywhere in the San Francisco bay area.

If you like the aesthetic of the example keychain but would like a different area, simply leave a note when ordering of the neighborhood/city and the rough size or extents of the map, and I'll use my judgement when designing it to make sure it looks good. My biggest priority is to make sure that you are ordering something that you think is perfect so if you would prefer to see the design before ordering, please feel free to contact me and I'd be happy to draw it up for you.

The wood part measures 2 by 1.25 inches. The wood is protected with food grade cutting board oil which can be reapplied at any time if the wood looks dry or dirty.

The keychain is made from solid cherry wood. After the wood comes out of the kiln at the sawmill, I do every step of the processing myself; while it is labor intensive to process solid cherry into wood that can be laser cut, the effort is definitely worth it. The appearance of a solid hardwood is far better than something like birch plywood or alder wood. Additionally, the cherry wood is sourced from a sawmill in western Michigan that produces lumber exclusively using street trees that have been removed due to construction or storm damage. I strongly believe in what they do and my dream is to open a similar operation myself!

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.
