A small piece, built like the bigger ones.

The cattle tag keychain is shaped after the ear tags I grew up seeing on working cattle in this part of Texas — clean, simple, durable, and built to spend years on a keyring without complaining. Cut from full-grain leather, set with a solid brass eyelet, and finished with a heavyweight keyring rated for daily use.

These are made from leather that started its life as larger pieces in my workshop — wallet panels, belt straps, journal covers. Nothing on the bench goes to waste here. Every keychain carries a piece of the same hide that built something else under the Rustic Oak name.

Hand-cut, hand-burnished, rivet-set, and finished one at a time. The kind of small piece you toss in a bag and forget about for a decade before realizing it's still solid as the day you bought it.

Made one at a time in Waller, Texas.

Want it stamped with initials, a date, or a custom mark? Personalized key fobs are handled through my custom branding inquiry form so I can confirm exactly what you have in mind before cutting leather.

Wipe down with a dry cotton cloth as needed. Condition every 6–12 months with a quality leather balm. Avoid prolonged direct sun. The leather will darken and develop character with use — that's the patina earning its way in.
