Compass Rose and Custom Coordinates Keychain - Coordinate Keychain - Latitude Longitude Wood Keychain - Fifth Anniversity

This is a perfect gift to commemorate an important event! For example it could celebrate a wedding or graduation or birth of a child. It would also be a great housewarming gift if you have the GPS coordinates centered at a new home. It would also be a fun souvenir to celebrate a memorable vacation. The possibilities are endless!

The keychain can be engraved with coordinates in any format, and can even have other text or numbers entirely. When you order, just let me know the coordinates that you would like. Don't worry if you don't know how to type the degree symbol; I am very good at interpreting the intended engraving, and I'd be happy to double check the engraving with you if requested.

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 2.25" by 0.65". 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. Several examples are shown to illustrate some differences you might see in the cherry wood grain.

**HOW TO FIND GPS COORDINATES**

When I find the coordinates of a location, I usually use this website which has instructions included: gps-coordinates.org

If on a computer, you can also use Google maps by looking at the location, right clicking, and selecting "What's here?"

Please make sure to double check the coordinates that you tell me, and try and be as clear as possible on the formatting that you would prefer.

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.
