Episode Synopsis
John Stene: Stene Woodwork
“Mostly, it grew up in a cabinet shop.
I wasn't really planning to be a cabinet maker, but been working in cabinet shops for 17 years. And just moved back down and to the home place where I grew up. And my dad passed away, and then the shop was sitting here empty. So, I decided to take up the shop and start the business.”
- John Stene
