“I learned to read wood before I learned to read words. Some things just come first.”
Ngoc Vo grew up in her grandfather’s woodworking shop, where she was taught that the hands should understand before the eyes even notice. That philosophy still shows in the way she works today.
She’s the craftswoman behind many of Ashdeco’s tree bookshelves and wall tree shelves - pieces that require turning a straight block of wood into branches that feel naturally grown instead of artificially designed. It’s delicate work, somewhere between sculpture and stubbornness.
Customers often ask her how the branches end up looking “so real.”
Ngoc Vo usually smiles and says, “Because I’m not trying to make it look real. I’m trying to make it be real.”

First impressions start at the threshold of a home. This Handcrafted Sculptural Tree-Branch Bookshelf is not just a utility surface for your books and treasures; it is a bold, artistic statement of nature’s raw, untamed elegance. Crafted from high-quality solid wood, this piece brings the unrefined beauty of the forest into the refined environment of your home. It explicitly bridges the gap between high-end artisan craft and the grounding presence of a true, wall-mounted sculptural bookshelf, a far cry from generic factory duplicates.
Hand-Sculpted Honesty of Real Wood
The defining feature of this collection is its origin: solid wood in its purest, most formidable form. We deliberately preserve the tactile "honesty" of the timber-the warmth of the natural grain, the story told by every natural knot, and the intricate color shifts that occur across a single piece of heavy timber. Our artisans treat the wood with a deep respect for its history, opting for a finish that enhances the organic texture rather than masking it. This is real wood at its most authentic, providing a reliable and durable platform that you can feel. It is the sensory experience that synthetic alternatives simply cannot replicate.
Functional Intent, Redefined
Bespoke Customization for Your Space
We believe that unique spaces require tailored solutions. The Arborist's Bower is fully customizable to fit your specific architectural rhythm.
Custom Size: Measure your unique wall space. We can customize the overall height of the tree and the specific reach of the branches to perfectly match your alcove or entryway placement. Contact Our Customer Support Team here to begin your bespoke project.
Thickness Options: Need a more monumental, "ancient oak" look or sleek, minimalist limbs? We can modify the thickness of individual branches to your preference. Please note: Significant size increases or thickness adjustments for specific branches will incur an additional fee.
Intentional Placement and Honest Limitations
Designed with a slim profile and commanding presence, this table anchors various spaces without obstructing movement:
The Entryway: Create an immediate focal point that greets guests with the scent and sight of natural timber.
The Living Room: Style it behind a floating sofa, breaking up clean industrial lines with dynamic, organic contours.
The Office: Inspire creativity and ground your work environment.
Furniture Placement
Position your furniture away from direct sunlight, or use blinds or curtains to reduce sun exposure.
Always set your furniture on a level surface to preserve its balance and structure.
Cleaning & Upkeep
Regularly wipe down your furniture with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth.
Avoid using harsh chemicals like bleach or ammonia, as these can ruin the finish and damage the wood.
Weight Capacity & Use
Respect the recommended weight limit for each piece to ensure its durability.
When moving furniture, lift it instead of dragging or pushing to prevent surface scratches or joint damage.
Preventing Mold & Mildew
Quickly wipe up any spills to stop moisture from penetrating the wood.
In areas with high humidity, use a dehumidifier to maintain an ideal moisture balance.
Shipping Cost
We offer free shipping on all orders.

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.
