Born of Forest artisan keycaps
Then, we guess this is the moment everyone has been waiting for: How to make Born of Forest
Firstly, we cast resin on the base in which trees, mountains, and a house. The minimums times are at least 10 minutes for each keycap. Casting resin base, on the other hand, requires up to 8 hours to become harden. Then, the rough edges from the casting process are ground smooth. Each tree is trimmed carefully before dusting. It will take us about 30 minutes with base and trees, especially, spacebar profile and Herbts design will take more 20 minutes to complete deburring – dusting.
Next to the handmade-painting step, each detail includes the wood base, landscape, mountains need skill in the use of the hands. Each profile has its own time to be unique. For this reason, every single keycap is required up within 30 minutes to 2 hours before moving the next.
For each design, the grass is what we had to try many grass colors to make realistic nature. Times between 20 minutes to 40 minutes are considered suitable for sodding. Every single will has at least 3 types of grass and covered by 2 -5 types of highlight. For trees and houses, we stick carefully each detail within 20 minutes to 1 hour to be the basic scene of the forest. This step is considered a key point for this collection.
The keycaps will be moved to the final profile layers step. After casting into the molds with different sizes, those are put in paint pressure pots to be dryness within 16 hours. Finally, the artisans will clean the outer surface key-cap before having been tagged own serial number and added to inventory before delivering to you.
The trees, with a diameter of 1.5mm and a height of 3mm, are our challenge at this time. Within three different highlights for each one, we even can’t remember how many times we remade from the zero points for painting and sticking the trees on the base to able to get ultra-realism. However, while the creation is highly appreciated. We created a “Born of Forest” by our spirit, and “Born of Forest” is just with you!
