WoodenWares Crafts Its 10,000th Birthday Key in Brisbane

Family-owned business WoodenWares has reached a significant milestone, completing its 10,000th handcrafted Birthday Key from its Brisbane showroom and workshop.

Since opening in 2017, WoodenWares has become one of Australia’s most recognised names in milestone gift design. The company is known for its detailed workmanship, fast turnaround, and customer-first approach — values that have remained unchanged since day one.

Each Birthday Key begins as a custom concept and is built from raw materials using precision laser equipment and UV-cured inks. The finishing process involves mirror-gold detailing and hands-on assembly, resulting in a durable, high-end piece designed to last for generations.

“Reaching 10,000 Keys is a big moment for us,” says founder Ken Russell.

WoodenWares has grown steadily over the years, serving families across Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands. Its exclusive Click ’n Connect Stand system and reliable three to four-day turnaround have helped the brand earn hundreds of five-star reviews online.

Every design is personalised, with customers able to include names, cultural patterns, or meaningful messages — a level of detail that makes each piece distinct.

The business, run by Ken, Monaliza, and Mariah, continues to expand its offerings with new materials, finishes, and design options while keeping all production proudly based in Brisbane.

10,000 Keys later, WoodenWares remains focused on what matters most — quality, family, and craftsmanship that lasts.
