Crafted from Historic Materials
|
Each collection begins with a remarkable piece of timber — naval warship oak, aviation‑grade propeller wood, ancient bog oak, whisky barrel staves, and other rare materials. These timbers carry their own stories, shaped by time, service, and history.
Handmade in CheshireEvery pen and keyring is individually turned, shaped, and finished by hand. The natural grain, patina, and character of each material are preserved through careful craftsmanship, ensuring no two pieces are ever the same.

Handmade Keyrings

Our handmade keyrings offer a meaningful way to carry a piece of history with you every day. Each one is crafted in your choice of two designs — Standard or Whistle — both finished in an elegant gold tone.
Every keyring is fitted with a high‑quality split ring to keep your keys securely together. The whistle design produces a clear, high‑pitched tone, making it ideal for attracting attention or supporting dog‑training routines. |

New limited stock!
|
We’ve recently introduced a new, simplified style of keyring to our collection, and we’ll be adding them to the website as they are handcrafted.
Each piece is made from a solid section of our historic timber and engraved with the ship’s name, creating a meaningful keepsake for any enthusiast of maritime history. Every keyring is presented in a gift box, nestled in natural filling, and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. As the timber varies in size and character, the dimensions and shapes of these keyrings will differ slightly. Wherever possible, we’ll include measurements within each individual listing. |
