The Story

The first year disappears the fastest.

The first year disappears the fastest. The first laugh, the first step, the first time they fell asleep on your chest and you didn't move for an hour.

FIRST YEAR CHRONICLE preserves twelve of those months as twelve hand-finished wooden panels — engraved with their photo, the month, and a single line you choose.

It sits on a shelf. A child runs their fingers across it years later, and remembers a year they were too young to remember.

Personalization

Four decisions.
Made by you.

Everything else — the wood, the carving, the finish, the signature — we take care of.

Step 01

Twelve months

One photo per month. Black, white, or warm-tinted relief.

Step 02

Their name

Engraved on the spine of the keepsake case.

Step 03

A single line

Fifty characters — the only words you'd want them to read first.

Step 04

Wood & case

Solid maple panels, walnut keepsake case, brass hinge.

Preview

A glimpse of
what yours becomes.

Before any wood is touched, you'll receive a hand-drafted concept from your maker — a single image, a single line. If it isn't right, we begin again.

Yours could read

Léo, born March — "You arrived, and the year began again."
