At about 20cm tall, the size of a small doll, Wooden had a lightweight magic engraved on it, so if it stayed still, no one would doubt it was just a display model.
It would be best to keep it in a pocket dimension, but Wooden, having been in there once, strongly objected. It never wanted to go back to that place where there was nothing.
'Even though we made a contract and I engraved the mark of obedience on the golem, treating it that way wouldn't be good in the long run.'
There was no need to overthink such matters. Spirits, for all their magical complexity, operated on fundamentally simple emotional principles. Contract or not, magical binding or otherwise, if they developed an aversion to something, that aversion remained steadfast and immovable. Their feelings weren't complicated by the layers of social obligation or calculation that humans wrapped around their own desires.
