“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.
Six mushroom caps branch from a carved tree trunk. A tall woodland hollow opens at the center, shaped like a cathedral arch, ready for whatever small world you want to build inside it.
Our artisans carve the entire piece from solid wood. The trunk carries natural bark texture along its surface. Each mushroom cap grows outward at a different height and angle, with fine gill lines carved on the underside radiating from the trunk to the outer edge. The caps are placed asymmetrically around the central hollow, three on the left and three on the right, creating a layered display that wraps around the niche.
The woodland hollow is yours to fill. The arch-shaped niche at the center arrives completely empty. Build a miniature forest scene inside with preserved moss, dried ferns, small figurines, and pebbles. Arrange crystals and candles for a warm glow. Stand a few air plants on the interior ledge. Or leave it open and let the carved wood grain and natural shadow do the work. The niche is tall and deep enough to hold a layered display, and its pointed-arch shape frames whatever you place inside like a window into another world.
Want a planted terrarium or aquascape setup inside the niche? Custom terrarium builds are available at an additional cost. Contact our customer support team to discuss plant selection, materials, and pricing for your setup.
6 mushroom cap shelves at staggered heights. The largest cap sits near the top, spanning the full width. Smaller caps extend from the trunk at varying angles below, some angled slightly upward, others tilting down. Use them for candles, small planters, figurines, glass cloches, dried florals, or lightweight collectibles. The hand-carved gill detail under every cap catches overhead light and adds visual depth from any viewing angle.
What goes into every piece:
• Solid wood throughout, hand-selected for grain character • Trunk carved from a single block with natural bark texture preserved • 6 mushroom cap shelves with radiating gill lines carved underneath • Cathedral arch niche cut through the center of the trunk • Asymmetric cap placement for a natural, organic silhouette • No MDF, no resin, no composite, no veneer • Concealed wall-mount bracket system, all hardware included
Where it belongs. Living rooms, bedrooms, nurseries, reading nooks, hallways, studios. The warm wood tone and organic shape pair naturally with cottagecore, woodland, boho, rustic, and Japandi interiors. Tall enough to anchor a wall section on its own. Sculptural enough to replace conventional wall art.
Handcrafted by Vietnamese artisans. Every gill line, every bark ridge, every curve of the arch niche is carved 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 ($1,335.00) and our floating shelf ($1,780.00), 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.
