This fabulous desk, Rescue Me, was created from an urban rescue red maple tree. The tree had become old and ugly, destined to be destroyed, but inside the warty burl was valuable curly and burl woodgrain. Our Woodgenius added a keyboard pullout, handy shelves, and created the sides from spalted live edge ambrosia Maple. With turquoise inlays--let this one-of-a-kind desk rescue you from creative doldrums! Only one available to ship via white glove carrier. Allow 3-5 weeks transit time.

For Another maple desk?Wonderful! Gorgeous! There was one small glitch in communication—which ended up resulting in an even better desk than I had imagined. Love these folks!

For breakfast tableI am beyond happy with my finished kitchen table and Haymore Enterprises. Sheri and Clyde were wonderful and easy to work with. Their expertise in their field is more than evident from the beginning. My vision of my finished kitchen table with my late father's inlaid stones came to life perfectly and even better than I expected. Everything was done on time and they made the whole process stress free. I would not hesitate to use them again for another project. Sheri had an idea of using my dad's leftover stones in a wood tray that Clyde also makes out of the various wood choices. Done deal!

For DeskI enjoyed doing business with Haymore Enterprises, Inc. I would absolutely buy something from them again! Clyde's artistry is phenomenal. He clearly takes a lot of pride in his work, and when you buy one of his pieces, his love of what he does shines through his work. He truly sees the inner beauty of the wood. He does a great job listening to your requests for various features (size, color, type of wood, inlay, live edge, etc.). The end result is a museum-quality piece of woodwork. I have waited years to get a desk that was both big enough for me to do my work on (I'm a Teacher of the Visually Impaired), and breathtakingly beautiful with a lot of style. I am so happy that I have such a great desk now! Sheri managed all of the details of the order. She was easy to communicate with and explained each step of the process from both the business and creative sides. She was very helpful. I didn't feel like any of my questions were stupid or a bother for her to answer. I appreciate all of her help very much!

For Entryway Live-edge Console With InlaysHaymore Enterprises, Inc. was a great company to do business with and I would absolutely buy something from them again. Sheri did a wonderful job answering my questions and explaining both the creative process that results in a beautiful piece of custom made furniture, as well as explaining the ordering and delivery processes. Clyde was able to understand my needs (measurements, color of wood, choice of inlays, preference for how much of a live edge for the piece to have) and make a wonderful, unique piece of artwork. I couldn't be more pleased with how my console turned out! It is gorgeous!

For Woodgenius' Own Table!Sheri & Clyde were awesome & very nice. They were great about calming my nerves & answering my questions. I picked everything out from the wood slabs to color of stones. I was able to be involved in the decisions much or as little as possible. I was really more hands on with that because I had a vision of exactly what I wanted! They even made suggestions & gave me options I didn't know I had! The Table & bench is more beautiful than we could have even imagined! The quality is top notch! My Papa & Uncle are carpenters but were unable to make this for me due to age & illness. They were impressed with the workmanship & skill! there was a glitch with delivery but had nothing to do with Clyde & Sheri.

For Creative DeskThe desk is absolutely gorgeous! Clyde and Sheri communicated well throughout, and sent informative pictures and timely questions. We had a bit of a problem with a timely delivery—but that was not their fault in any way. (The shipping company was not very communicative.) Very, very happy with our beautiful desk!

For Walnut Pair Dining TableI took a chance and ordered my new counter top for my guest bathroom online. Everyone thought I was crazy living in Los Angeles and not being able to see the piece. I can't thank Clyde and Sheri enough for the beautiful piece they made for me. Communication was awesome and the shipping super fast. Thank you so much, you guys are incredible and do a fantastic job. Roxana

For Walnut Coffee Table With Lower ShelfWe LOVE it!!! Fabulous table- even more beautiful than appears in the pics! Very solid piece. Extremely warm and inviting. The turquoise draws you over to the piece. Really unusual. Dealing with Sheri was an absolute pleasure. The shipping was less than ideal. Sheri and Clyde packed the piece perfectly and gave extremely accurate information as to what day it would arrive. The trucking company, however, won't give time windows so it was hard to arrange around. They did agree to call an hour before delivery, which they sort of did (actually it was 2 hours) but it was curbside delivery with a crate that was impossible for me to lift or even shove. Had to get a neighbor to help. But, as far as Haymore Enterprises, couldn't be happier. Thank you!

For DeskWe received the desk yesterday, and cannot stop ourselves from walking to my husbands office over, and over just to admire this amazing piece of art. It is absolutely stunning! What this man can do with wood is truly amazing.

For Gina's Table and Matching BenchMy husband and I are renovating our kitchen and I was looking for the finishing touch – something that would be unique, beautiful and make our room have personality. I found that with our table from Wood Genius. As soon as we started working with Clyde we were impressed with the attention to detail, the concern for meeting our expectations and the care given our table. From the very beginning each step was photographed and explained by Sheri via email. We looked forward to the updates and it made us want to go down to NC and work on our table too!! The process was wonderful. As our table progressed we loved the photos so much that we decided to add a bench. The bench is fantastic. It is wide and sturdy. In retrospect I wish I had gone for two benches and not done upholstered chairs on the other side. Perhaps that will be my next “Clyde Project”. I don’t think that I have ever written a review for anything but I think our table is such a work of art that I had no hesitation in writing this review. Clyde is beyond a furniture maker or even “wood working genius” – he is a true artisan. Our table is something to treasure.
