Background and education
Chad Stephens lives in Pueblo, Colorado and has had a lifelong interest in wood working and nature.
He received his first lathe as a gift from his wife in 2008 and it sparked an obsession with the process of taking a tree, cultivating it
into raw material and then working it into a piece of art. He uses mostly local woods that are due for a landfill or a firewood pile.
Some of his favorite types of wood include aspen, cedar, cottonwood, walnut, hackberry and apple. To Chad, every piece of wood is
unique with its own characteristics that guide Chad to find the perfect final form whether it be a bowl, vase or spindle. In his own
words, “Getting a piece of wood is like getting a Christmas present….you never know what’s inside!’
