This is a pretty heart shaped keychain attachment made out of English Bog Oak (Quercus robur). For those who are not familiar with the bog oak, this piece of wood is more than several thousand years old.  An oak tree fell into a bog and was buried and preserved.  The black coloration is the result of such submersion.  So, you are looking at a piece of wood from a tree that grew when human history was not yet written and had witnessed events that we are still struggling to piece together today. This heart withstands the test of time.
For a story about these wooden hearts, visit my blog:

The heart was cut free-hand and then hand sanded to a smooth, contoured surface, with just an oil/wax finish. It is equipped with antique bronze hardware, ready to dangle. Due to this manual process, each heart is unique. Also due to this manual process, I do not offer hearts very often. It's too much exercise for me with all that sanding and polishing! But I know, a natural, simple, meaningful, unique heart is hard to find, so here is a collection for your Valentine. It is also good to carry a piece of real wood with you just in case you need to "knock on wood" to prevent jinxing yourself, since nowadays, with all those "alternative" materials, finding a piece of real wood could be a challenge. And, of course, it is a perfect gift for that special someone who hold the key to your heart!
