This site is always under construction, somethings work, some don't, just like me.
This website is intended to give people an
idea of the kind of work I do -
and to serve as a kind of archive for me -
so I can look back and see what I've done.
Like many turners, I started out making
bowls. They seem to be the first thing that anyone
wants to make. And then I moved
on to more sculptual pieces - which is another way of
saying things just to look at.
In 2008 I moved my shop from Washington, DC
to Maysville, West Virginia. I still live in
in Washington, but I spend a long of time
in West Virginia. The picture on the opening
page is my workshop
in West Virginia. The name Steby Woodworks comes
from an old town
where my shop is located -
about all that is left now is an old school house,
right across
the road, built in 1893.
Kids from the school used to have to come to a spring on
our place to get water before starting
school.
