Artisan Wooden Home Decor by Woody’s Rituals — The Ancestral Guard: Iron-Bound Norse Stein – WoodyKitchenware

At Woody’s Rituals by WoodyKitchenware, we see everyday living as a mindful ritual — where natural materials, warmth, and simplicity bring balance to your home. This wooden piece is designed to add texture, presence, and a quiet sense of calm to your space.

"A tribute to the iron-willed; a vessel for the sagas written in the quiet of your sanctuary."

At WoodyKitchenware, we believe that the objects in your sanctuary should be as formidable as the spirit they serve. Part of our Woody Rituals philosophy, the Ancestral Guard is a weighted testament to strength and endurance. Featuring a masterfully sculpted "Viking Wood Black" exterior with silver-toned rivet accents, this vessel is designed for the Sylvan Den, where ancient lore meets the quiet contemplation of the modern seeker.

✨ Why the Ancestral Guard Defines Your Ritual

• The Iron-Bound Legacy: The exterior is a masterwork of high-density resin, hand-finished to replicate the deep, weathered grain of ancient iron-clad barrels. It is a tactile centerpiece that turns every pour into a legendary toast to your resilience.

• The Alchemical Core: Beneath the mythic exterior lies a precision-engineered 304 stainless steel liner. This dual-layer discipline ensures that while you hold the weight of legend, your spirit remains pure, untainted, and perfectly chilled.

• Thermal Sovereignty: The heavy artisan shell acts as a natural thermal barrier, preventing the warmth of the world from reaching your drink. It ensures your mead, craft ale, or stout stays frostier for longer while the exterior remains dry and commanding to the touch.

• The High-Raised Command: Engineered with a high-raised stainless steel rim for a splash-free, superior pour. The widened cylindrical handle provides a secure and powerful grip, balanced for the steady hand of those who have earned their place at the table.

🛠 Technical Mastery

Every Ancestral Guard tankard is meticulously hand-inspected to ensure the structural alignment of its rivets and the absolute purity of its high-performance core. The interior is forged from Food-Grade 304 Stainless Steel, ensuring it is rust-resistant, BPA-free, and neutral in flavor. The outer shell is crafted from High-Density Artisan Resin with a hand-applied "Viking Wood Black" finish that brings the medieval textures to life.

This vessel offers a substantial capacity of 600 ml – 620 ml (21 fl oz), providing ample volume for your finest draughts. Standing at approximately 16 cm in height with a 9.5 cm rim diameter, it is weighted at 800g for professional stability and a solid, "heirloom" hand-feel. The entire construction is certified for direct food contact and aligns with the purity of the Sylvan Ethos.

💧 Caring for the Artifact

To preserve the hand-finished patina and the steel’s purity:

• The Hand-Wash Ritual: Clean the interior with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive materials on the outer relief to protect the delicate hand-painted silver rivets.

• Respect the Materials: Strictly no microwave or dishwasher. High heat can stress the resin’s hand-applied texture and compromise the internal bond.

• Preserve the Luster: Rinse after use and dry both the interior and exterior with a soft, dry cloth to prevent water spots and maintain the "battle-ready" finish.
