    I have been pleasantly surprised with the reactions of people to the key rings I have just started making.
    I have decided that I want to cover costs and postage plus a little extra for me so I am now selling the keyrings at £5.00 each rather than giving them away. Postage and packing costs £1.20 per order.

    I have the original style at £5.00 each

    and a new design which I actually prefer as I think it is more striking. The new design uses two contrasting hardwoods, currently Yellow Iroko and Sapele. The name is cut out and the woods glued together and when dry I insert coloured clay and bake them in the oven. When the clay is set the keyring is sanded and finished with a coat of Danish Oil for protection and to bring out the grain of the woods. Here's some photo's of the new style keyrings being made.

    The name and backer cut out,

    I can do any name and most colours for the inserts. These key rings are also £5.00 each with the same costs for postage and packing. Let me know what colour you want for the name as well as whether you want the light or dark wood on the top.
    Thanks for looking

    Hi Sarah, I'm not on ebook or facebay so just a PM or 'conversation' on here.
    Just tell me exactly what you want and your address so I can post them to you. I'm going to set up a paypal account so I'll send the details when I send your keyrings then once they're in your hand and you're happy with them you can paypal a gift of the money to me.
     
  5. These look great. Roughly what size and thickness are they?

    Good question. The thickness of both styles is approx 10mm but the length obviously depends on the number of letters. To give you a rough idea a four letter name of the pierced style is about 70mm and the inlaid style is slightly longer at 85mm.

    seanseansean sorry it's taken so long to make the boxes mate. I wasn't happy with the first batch so I bunned them. These aren't quite finished yet, I still have to fit cork onto the bottoms and the varnish needs 24 hrs to harden off before I can start working on them again.

    Box A
    is already spoken for.

    Sorry again about the time I've taken, I think with postage time and everything I'll miss the date you specified. Let me know if you still want one even though it will be late.
