Client Testimonials

Gallis works with interior designers, architects and contractors. He attracts business through word-of-mouth and a limited amount of advertising. His work usually ends up in large ranches, guest resorts, and with people who want to acquire one-of-a-kind pieces of furniture. Gallis receives the most enjoyment when he is able to work with the end user.

"You kind of develop a friendship. We exchange Christmas cards and it's just a real nice extended family. And then people come back and say, 'I got the desk and now I need a chair.' It's a real investment ..."

The following are just a few of the many testimonials from our clients.

Two Feather Ranch

Pat and I wish that we could be at the ranch to thank you in person for all your fine work in helping to make our house a home. The result has been wonderful!

We have truly enjoyed our association with you and "the boys". It has been a sincere pleasure to work with you all in the design and production of the works of art that some might call furniture. I can't really think of the proper word to describe it.

Your work will be a lasting memory for us. We will think of you, Tim and Mike every time we lay eyes on your works of art. Hopefully, we can find another project for you to work on. It would be fun! Thanks again.

John, attached is a photo of your wonderful cabinet. [Note: Built-in wall unit shown at left.] We are really enjoying it and love showing it off.

I had your pieces delivered to my clients' home in Windham yesterday and I have to tell you I am beyond impressed with your work. The craftsmanship of your furniture is so beautiful and more than I ever expected. Thank you again for providing me with these works of art; my clients are very happy. I need a shelving cabinet in my own powder room and I will email you dimensions and a picture of the room next week. I would love for you to create something special for this piece as it is in a very beautiful space.

We all LOVE the pieces that you created. The ladies at Guest Services were also raving about your work. The buffet is exquisite, perfect, gorgeous and so is the love seat!! Thank you soooo much.

Fly Tying Desk

After living with my gorgeous fly tying desk now for several years, I thought it was about time to formally thank you for the piece. As I stand gazing at its features and the wonderful wood, I remember all of the "napkin" drawings that you sent me during the design process. It took a while for us to collaborate on just what I needed in the desk, but as your awards prove, you absolutely nailed it. With all of those gorgeous spalted maple drawers, the cedar lining in the large drawers, the rolltop, the solid walnut desk top and on and on, you created a piece of art, NOT merely a desk. Everyone who sees it is in awe of the craftsmanship! And your attention to detail in using these three types of wood is true genius. One can stand for a long time appreciating all of nature's gifts and your use of them, and I do!

What people can't see is the friendship that spawned out of this collaboration. To say nothing of the fact that I've had you build four other pieces for our home. Thanks again to you and your staff and congratulations on your new facility. We hope to come to Cody for a visit in the near future. Best wishes to you, Tim, Mike, Ian, and of course Eric. Warmest Regards,

Jim Stone

This is to thank you for the wonderful pieces of furniture you built for us. Please use our name and number if we can help promote your artistry and unique creations.

Ours was a difficult project, but you were able to work in several mediums to create pieces of beauty, meaning and significance; specifically, metal sculpture, barn wood from our 150 year old Heritage Farm, leather, American black walnut, cedar and juniper. Your association with Sam Maloof sealed the deal for us. You are able to accept input, which is not always easy for an artist, and work towards a very satisfying solution for all.

Again, our sincere appreciation for creating these beautiful pieces for us. Our paths will cross again. Sincerely,

Shirley and Craig Paugh

Hey John! I was going through some pictures and thought I'd send some your way. Everything you did just came out so wonderful. We are very happy and grateful that you had a part in creating our home. And we are also fortunate to have you as our friend also. Thank you.

Lance and Jacki Miner

Note: Norseman Designs West built the mantle bookcases and over-mantle bifold TV cabinet.

The furniture was delivered today. The pieces are outstanding and worth the wait. Thank you again for all the beautiful work.

Battina
Incline Village, Nev.

Thank you for the work you put into my tables. They far surpassed my expectations. You did an excellent job.

Roger Wait

We received the chair yesterday afternoon. We really like the overall look and feel of the chair. The wood is really pretty and the leather is soft. The colors go really well with our room. We're very happy with our chair. It's been a pleasure to work with you and will let all our friends know about your wonderful craftsmanship and efficient business style. Thank you so very much.
