Heirloom woodwork,
shaped by hand in the Blue Ridge.

For more than a decade, Leroy Nolte and a small team of Appalachian craftsmen have been turning locally milled walnut, cherry, and white oak into furniture and architectural pieces meant to outlive the people who buy them.

What we make

Four generations of mountain woodcraft, in one small Weaverville studio.

Every commission begins the same way: a tree, a sketch, and a long conversation about how a piece is going to be used. Nothing leaves the shop until it has been worked, sanded, and finished entirely by hand.

01

Custom Furniture

Dining tables, benches, beds, and casegoods built to a customer's room, wood preference, and joinery style. Mortise-and-tenon, dovetail, and breadboard construction throughout.

02

Mantels & Millwork

Reclaimed beam mantels, floating shelves, and stair treads sourced from old tobacco barns within fifty miles of Weaverville. Every beam is graded, dried, and re-milled in house.

03

Heirloom Gifts

End-grain cutting boards, serving trays, salt cellars, and rolling pins. The kind of objects that get handed down rather than thrown away — finished in food-safe walnut oil and beeswax.

Our story

A small shop on Diamond Street, doing things the long way around.

Leroy Nolte opened the doors of Tucker Ridge Heritage Co. in the spring of 2015, after fifteen years working alongside his grandfather in a one-bay garage outside Mars Hill. The current studio sits a few minutes north of Asheville on Diamond Street, with the workbenches facing the mountains for a reason.

We don't run a production line. Most weeks we have three or four projects in progress, and we keep it that way on purpose. If your dining table takes ten weeks instead of three, it's because it deserved ten weeks.

Kind words

What our customers have said.

"Leroy spent more time talking with us about how we'd use the table than most contractors spend on an entire kitchen. The piece arrived flawless. It's the heart of our house now."

— Margaret & Tom H., Asheville NC

"We commissioned a mantel from a barn that had been on my grandfather's property. They drove out, looked at the timbers, and brought back something I'll keep forever."

— Daniel R., Mars Hill NC

"I have bought four cutting boards from Tucker Ridge over the years, given three away as wedding gifts. They get better the more you use them."

— Anna P., Black Mountain NC
