Rowan Fox head keyring
£15.00
Solid English Rowan, processed from the log in my workshop, laser engraved and triple coated with Danish oil, on a stainless steel swivel clasp with an Ash logo tag.
Rowan (also known as Mountain Ash) is more of an ornamental tree, with a firm history in British folklore, but it's not often used for its timber.
I spotted one being felled near my home a few years ago, and decided to grab a few logs that were destined for the wood chipper. So glad I did because the timber has a lovely colour, with streaks of red and green running through it, plus its very workable and a pleasure to carve. I'll be making more bits with the rest of the wood I have in the future.
Limited to 6.
