I am so glad I found Casey’s shop! I had been on a journey to rid of all of my toxic cooking ware and wanted high quality walnut utensils. Many I found online fit the “look” I wanted, but it was never clear what they were finished with, as I wanted to make sure my investment would be truly non-toxic. When I found Casey’s shop, I was blown away by the craftsmanship of his utensils.

About The Ridge & The Root
Sometime in 2020, near the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains, amidst a global shutdown, a company was born. Deprived of all human connection and access to the outdoors, I began carving wood. I found stillness and calm from the act, and soon found that others found some interest in these modest creations. I would say the rest is history, but that would be a watered down and oversimplified version of life. The rest is a complicated, overanalyzed, entangled, strangely interwoven and misunderstood path that led me here.
Through it all though, I've been able to seek out the constant comfort of woodworking. I've been able to grow as an individual within this honest trade. I've had the honor of creating items for beautiful humans who value a slowed version of life, one which takes in its wondrous intricacies and our part in it.
I'm so happy to be here and to craft these little wooden trinkets for you. I hope they bring you as much joy as I received from their creation.

Let customers speak for us
from 60 reviewsWe ordered a custom bar cabinet from Casey and it did not disappoint! It's refreshing to have a hand made piece of hardwood furniture that will last more than one lifetime. The attention to detail is amazing and the customization to our space is perfect! From wine racks, locking cabinets, soft close doors and drawers, all the way down to the custom feet and corner bowtie accents, this thing rocks! We purchased a set of the kitchen utensils as well and they're perfect! It's great to get rid of our plastic ware too. Oh, while he was at our house he installed a ceiling fan as well! What?! FIVE STARS ON EVERYTHING!

Love every thing about the utensils, the quality, weight, shape, care instructions and refinishing oil.

Casey is an amazing craftsman. He pays attention to detail and ensures it is just as he would want it to be as if he was making it for himself. The end result was exactly what i was looking for!

Spot on just what I expected

I am so glad I found Casey’s shop! I had been on a journey to rid of all of my toxic cooking ware (non stick pans, silicone and plastic cooking utensils) and wanted high quality walnut utensils. Many I found online fit the “look” I wanted, but it was never clear what they were finished with, as I wanted to make sure my investment would be truly non-toxic . When I found Casey’s shop, I was blown away by the craftsmanship of his utensils . I hadn’t expected to find walnut utensils that were truly HANDMADE! And added to that, I was pleased that Casey assured me that they are treated with only safe mineral oil and beeswax , which was exactly what I wanted .
These utensils are truly GORGEOUS-the grain and depth of the color is stunning and they are perfectly shaped. They’ll be in my kitchen forever, worth the investment!

She’s a beauty! Highly recommend the purchase and the seller. Casey was great throughout the process. The extra touches of craftsmanship and hardware really is impressive. High price but doesn’t sting as much once you see it. Forever piece.

We are thrilled with our new cabinet! It is extremely well crafted, and the wood is a beautiful finish. The quality is excellent and it will no doubt last a long time. Casey also went above and beyond with communication during the crafting process, and about delivery. We highly recommend this shop!

We are in love with this piece. It is built with exceptional craftsmanship this isn’t easy to find. Casey was receptive to what we were looking for and started working on it soon after. He added RFID locks and they function perfectly. He even recommended a fridge that would fit in the cabinet. We would recommend his shop a thousand times.

From beginning to end, the whole experience of purchasing this cabinet through Casey was flawless. He kept in touch with me throughout the whole process, showed me previews of the wood he picked out, and helped me choose the right size cabinet for the fridge I had picked out. Once it was built, he also packaged it in a crate and had it shipped directly to my place. The cabinet is well-made, sturdy, and uses good materials. He even threw in a small bottle of bourbon as a thank you. I can't speak highly enough about this transaction. The cabinet is exactly what I needed and I couldn't have gotten it from a better guy. Thanks again.

Casey was phenomenal to work with! He drew up a custom design for me, pulling together elements I liked from several of his listed shop items. When we decided to drive to Chattanooga to pick it up, he was ready with a list of fantastic recommendations for local restaurants and attractions to visit while we were there. Communication was great throughout the order process. The bar is BEAUTIFUL, and the workmanship is outstanding. The electronic lock is super cool, too. My husband was also pretty excited about the bottle of local whiskey Casey gifted when we picked it up. Thanks for everything, Casey! We love the bar and it was so great to meet you!!

My husband and I had been looking for a bar cabinet to class up our entryway and most of what we found online looked cheap or had mixed reviews.
We found Casey's shop and were super impressed with the quality. Casey built the piece for us, and even checked in about the size of the refrigerator to make sure that the dimensions were adjusted to match. We live about 7 hours away, so we opted to go to his shop and drive it home ourselves. We ran into potential weather, so Casey opened early for us to get on the road, gave us a local bottle of whiskey to take home, and made sure we were warm with a cup of coffee.
If you are considering a piece at his shop, do yourself a favor - and just do it! You won't regret it.

Casey was awesome to work with. His 3-D renderings are super helpful for a custom piece, and the finished product was exactly to specification. The stain and finish is high quality, and I couldn't be happier with this piece. I was particularly appreciative of Casey's willingness to modify his design to meet my preferences. Would use again.

This cabinet is stunning! Quality craftsmanship and attention to detail shines through and are worth the investment. Very much enjoyed working with Casey and it was fun to get photo updates through the process. Thank you!

Absolutely stunning piece of furniture! The bar is well made with great attention to detail. Casey was so easy to work with and really goes the extra mile to be sure the piece is even better than expected.

Casey did a great job building my bar. His is meticulous with details and created an heirloom piece of furniture! Thanks for making the process a smooth one.
