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 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 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.

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 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!
