A Year Later: New Beginnings Bloom
One year ago, Haywood County native Dean Garnes worked his last shift at the local paper mill, a community cornerstone for decades. However, this tragic event became an unexpected blessing in disguise for Dean, a local talented woodworker.
Have you heard about his journey? It all began in Haywood County with a chance encounter that sparked his passion for woodworking. In this same community, fate presented him with a pivotal moment – the mill’s closure. Faced with a crossroads, Dean embraced his true calling, transforming his backyard hobby, “Backyard Wood Creations,” into the thriving business it is today: Innovation Woodworking.
From Ashes to Art
While the mill’s closure was a blow to the community, it gave Dean the push he needed to pursue his lifelong dream. Now, he’s closer to the raw material he loves—wood in its purest form—a stark contrast to the processed state he encountered daily at the mill. This newfound connection fuels his artistic vision, translating into stunning pieces crafted from the heart.
