We call this table 'Figuratively Speaking' because the burl maple log was destined for a bonfire before our wood genius rescued it, raising it from the dead, 'figuratively speaking.' The result is a stunning piece of furniture with exceptional figured grain, live edges, and walnut bowties, set on a free-form slab maple base. This table is sold, but we would love to build one for you!

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 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 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 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!
