A method, apparatus, and product-by-process, for preparing an RFID access card constructed out of wood is disclosed. The method involved preparing two wooden surfaces of appropriate thickness, preparing an RFID chip emitting an appropriate frequency, and pressing the wooden surfaces and the RFID chip together through the use of adhesive(s) and a hot press and a cold press. The apparatus included an RFID access card constructed out of at least two wooden surfaces where an RFID chip is disposed between the two surfaces. The two wooden surfaces are attached with a hot melt adhesive.
