Chris Wu handles most of the custom-size orders at Ashdeco - the strange ones, the complicated ones, the “are we even sure this can work?” kind of projects. Crooked walls, awkward corners, unusual dimensions, sketches drawn on napkins… somehow, those jobs usually end up on his workbench.

“Customers send me photos of their walls. I send them back something that will outlive both of us.”
Chris Wu handles most of the custom-size orders at Ashdeco - the strange ones, the complicated ones, the “are we even sure this can work?” kind of projects. Crooked walls, awkward corners, unusual dimensions, sketches drawn on napkins… somehow, those jobs usually end up on his workbench.
Most of the time, he reads the customer brief, nods once, and quietly gets to work.
He’s not the type to make big promises or dramatic speeches. But around the workshop, everyone knows one thing: more customers come back to order a second piece from Chris Wu than from anyone else on the team.
Which, in woodworking, is about the closest thing you get to a standing ovation.

Artisanal Solid Wood Owl Silhouette Wall Clock Panel & Sculptural Hand-Carved Wave Relief Wall Art Infuse your home with natural majesty and artistic wonder with our Artisanal Solid Wood Owl Silhouette Wall Clock Panel. Hand-carved entirely from genuine solid wood, this grand vertical art piece subtly evokes the wise silhouette of an owl - featuring horned ear contours crowning the circular dial above a cascade of sweeping, feather-like 3D carved waves. It harmoniously bridges collectible biophilic sculpture with peaceful, functional everyday timekeeping.
Authentic Solid Wood Craftsmanship: Hand-sculpted from 100% genuine solid timber - never molded resin, composite core boards, or faux printed veneers. The honest vitality of real wood shines across every sculpted curve: expressive grain lines, gentle tone shifts, and a smooth, tactile satin finish that engineered substitutes can never rival.
Sculptural Statement Meets Everyday Function: While dominating the wall as a tactile architectural relief panel, it functions as an effortless, legible timepiece. The upper dial features clean minimalist indices paired with bold cardinal numbers (12, 3, 6, 9) and sleek black hands. Driven by a silent quartz movement, it keeps flawless time without any distracting ticking sounds.
Standard Specifications & Thickness: Hand-carved with a substantial standard solid wood thickness of around 2.5 inches (approx. 6.4 cm) to create dramatic shadow lines across the flowing feather-wave ridges while preventing seasonal warping. If your space calls for a deeper, bolder presence or a sleeker profile, thickness can be adjusted custom thicker or thinner for an additional fee.
Ideal Placement:
Modern Living Room Focal Wall: Positioned on an architectural pillar or beside textured stone masonry to introduce organic movement.
Grand Entryway & Foyer: Greets arriving guests with museum-grade artisanal woodwork and clear timekeeping.
Executive Library or Study: Perfectly complements rich leather armchairs, stone accents, and book collections.
Fully Customizable Dimensions: Because wall heights and layout scales differ, we offer complete bespoke sizing for panel height, width, dial diameter, and carve depth. To configure custom measurements for your interior, please contact our customer support team for dedicated assistance and an accurate quote.
Honest Limitations & Hanging Guidance: Real wood is an organic material; natural variations in grain texture, subtle tone nuances, and minor expansion or contraction responding to seasonal room humidity are natural characteristics of authentic wood. Due to the solid timber construction, this panel must be securely anchored into wall studs using heavy-duty French cleat hardware. Wipe gently with a soft, lint-free cloth and avoid placing directly adjacent to radiators or heating vents.
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.

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 ($2,040.00) and our wall clock ($2,720.00), 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.
