“I work slowly on purpose. Slowness is where the quality lives.”
Thac Huynh was born in Hue into a family with a long tradition of royal-style wood carving, and you can see that patience in every piece he touches. He calls it “being slow in the right places.”
He specializes in fine detail carving - especially the ribbed undersides on Ashdeco’s mushroom shelves, all shaped carefully by his own hands. Around the workshop, the other craftsmen joke that he probably counts every single ridge one by one.
Man Thac never argues with them. Mostly because… they’re probably right.
Detailed information about this piece — tap a section to expand.
Five mushroom caps grow from a wood trunk on your wall. A leaf-shaped hollow opens at the center, deep enough to hold a small garden, a collection of objects, or nothing at all.
Our artisans carve the entire trunk from solid wood, working the bark texture by hand and shaping each mushroom cap with radiating gill lines underneath. The trunk stands vertical with branch-like supports connecting each cap to the body, and the central niche is cut clean through the wood in a natural leaf silhouette.
The hollow niche is yours. It arrives empty. Fill it with preserved moss and air plants for a forest-wall look. Arrange crystals and stones inside. Stand a few small succulents on the ledge. Frame a photo or a small sculpture. Or keep it bare and let the wood grain do the work. The niche is deep enough to hold small objects securely and shaped to draw the eye to whatever you place inside.
Interested in a planted terrarium or aquascape setup inside the niche? That is available as a custom service at an additional cost. Contact our team to discuss materials, plant selection, and pricing for your space.
5 mushroom cap shelves at staggered heights. One large cap crowns the top. Two smaller caps extend left and right from the upper trunk. Two more branch out from the lower trunk, spreading the display across the full width of the piece. Each cap carries hand-carved gill detail on the underside that catches light and adds depth when viewed from below.
Solid wood, carved by hand:
• Entire trunk carved from a single block of wood • Natural bark texture and wood grain preserved on the trunk surface • Radiating gill lines hand-carved under every mushroom cap • Branch-form supports connecting each shelf to the trunk body • Leaf-shaped display niche cut through the center • No MDF, no resin, no composite materials • Concealed wall-mount bracket system, all hardware included
Where it works. Living rooms, bedrooms, nurseries, reading corners, entryways. The warm wood tone and organic silhouette pair with cottagecore, boho, rustic, Japandi, and woodland aesthetics. The piece is tall enough to anchor a wall on its own and sculptural enough to replace conventional wall art.
Handcrafted by Vietnamese artisans. Every cut follows the grain. Every gill line is carved individually. Every bark ridge is shaped by hand in our workshop. No molds, no machines, no two pieces alike.

Craftsmanship vs factory
What separates handcrafted from factory-made
Both are solid wood. Both look beautiful in catalog photos. But the difference shows up when you live with the piece for 10 years and again when you pass it down.
Comparison between Factory-made solid wood ($1,260.00) and our floating shelf ($1,680.00), covering lifespan, annual cost, restorability, and quality factors.

Soul of wood
No two tables are ever the same
Every plank carries its own grain, color, and knots. These aren't flaws - they are time's signature, the fingerprint of a tree that lived for decades. When you touch a Ashdeco table, you're touching the years it stood through.

Everything you need to know about our pieces, commissions, and care.
How long does shipping take?
In Vietnam: 3-5 days. International: 10-14 days. Larger pieces (tables, cabinets) may take longer due to custom crating. All shipments include tracking and insurance.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we ship worldwide. Shipping is calculated by weight + dimensions at checkout. You'll see the exact quote before paying.
How long does a commission take?
4-8 weeks depending on complexity. A 6-seater dining table takes ~6 weeks, a console cabinet ~4 weeks, a large sideboard ~8 weeks.
50% deposit is required when you confirm sketches. The remaining 50% is due when the piece is finished, before shipping. Full refund within 48 hours of deposit if you change your mind.
How do I take care of my wood piece?
Wipe with a damp cloth — no chemicals. Apply wood oil 1-2 times per year (we include a starter bottle). Avoid direct sunlight and big humidity changes.
What if my piece develops cracks?
Wood expands and contracts with humidity — minor cracks are natural and part of the material. Major cracks within the first year: we fix free. After 1 year, we charge labor only.
Can I return a piece?
Ready-made pieces: 30-day returns (must arrive intact). Commissions: final sale (since they're custom-made for you). If anything arrives damaged, we'll repair or replace at no cost.
