No. 51 | The Hand Key Fob

Price: $22.00
Leather
Hardware

Built to carry a lifetime of keys.

Hand-cut from full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather and finished by hand at my bench in Waller, Texas. Solid antiqued hardware, low-profile shape, hand-burnished edges sealed with beeswax. The kind of small piece that doesn't ask for attention but earns it over the years — getting darker, smoother, and more yours every time it comes out of your pocket.

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

Whether hooked to a belt loop, a bag, or a keyring, it's made to keep up with real life.

Made one at a time in Waller, Texas.

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.
