Ashmark Tavern Mug

The Ashmark Tavern Mug is a vessel of survival — its wild burn-scars and fractured grain tell the tale of wood tested by the elements. This is no smooth, polished creation. It’s a mug reborn from fire and fracture, where imperfections become the centerpiece of strength.

Each mug features naturally occurring spalting and burn-like black vein patterns, resembling lightning cracks across an ancient tree. No two are ever alike, and none are perfect — because that’s the point. Each is hand-shaped from timber that was once discarded, salvaged, and brought back to life with hours of sanding, sealing, and shaping.

It takes significantly more time and craftsmanship to finish a fractured mug like this. Every groove must be stabilized, sealed, and finished with care — not just for beauty, but for durability. The silver rope accent binds it all together like the final ring of a shield-wall, holding strength where chaos once lived.

✓ Carved from naturally fractured, spalting-affected hardwood
✓ Features fire-veined patterns unique to each piece — no two ever repeat
✓ Bound with silver rope-style accents for both reinforcement and style
✓ Food-safe interior for cold drinks — best for mead, ale, or cider
✓ Every mug requires extra time and sanding — a true artisan’s challenge

1. 💧 Clean After Every Feast
After draining your last ale, rinse your horn with cool water. Avoid using boiling water as it may weaken the structure of the horn—only cold or lukewarm water, as the Vikings would.

2. 🧼 Use Mild Soap
When your horn requires a deeper clean, use a gentle, mild soap with a soft cloth. Harsh chemicals and abrasive sponges are for pillaging, not for cleaning!

3. 🌬️ Air Dry Like a True Viking
After washing, allow your horn to air dry naturally. Do not leave it under direct sunlight or near a fire pit—keep it in the cool shade of your longhouse.

4. 🍺 Cold Drinks Only
Your horn is made for mead, ale, and cold beverages. Avoid hot drinks like mulled wine or coffee, as they may damage the horn’s natural finish. Keep your beverages as cold as the fjords!

5. 🛡️ Polish and Protect
From time to time, keep your horn in fighting condition by polishing the exterior with a food-safe oil like olive oil or coconut oil. This will keep it shining with the glory of the gods.

6. ⚔️ Store Like a Viking
When not in use, store your horn in a cool, dry place. Don’t leave it in damp environments or near the heat, as it may warp over time. Store it safely, ready for the next raid!
