Caffeine Molecule Keychain - Coffee Tea Lovers Gift - Chemistry Science Keyring - Coffee Molecule

This keychain has an engraving of the caffeine molecule. It is cut out where the atoms would be which makes it look very interesting because light shines right through the holes. Some chemical properties of caffeine are also shown next to it. This would be a perfect gift for a coffee or tea lover, especially if they also love science!

The wood part of the keychain measures about 2.1 inches by 0.7 inch. The wood is protected with a hand rubbed and food safe oil finish.

The wood part is made from solid cherry wood. I do every step of the processing myself after it leaves the sawmill; 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 cherry hardwood is much nicer than birch ply or alder wood, and it is much stronger as well. Additionally, the 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.
