We had fun creating this one!  The wood for this key holder is some from my childhood barn.  We added some letters from old license plates, screwed on 2 skeleton keys, and used old bolts to serve as hooks for the keys.

I also would like details on cutting these instead of my fingers!

THanks for sharing
