Steve has always had a passion for working with his hands, but it wasn’t until he moved back from California that he became truly drawn to cabinetry. What began as a personal fascination quickly turned into a full-blown obsession — he started watching videos, studying techniques, and transformed his garage into a makeshift workshop where he built projects purely for the joy of it. 

He later had the opportunity to work under a master cabinetmaker, gaining hands-on experience and a deeper appreciation for the craft. That mentorship laid the foundation for what would become SL Woodwork. Today, Steve runs the business full time out of a 2,100-square-foot facility, building custom cabinetry with the same curiosity, care, and craftsmanship that first inspired him to pick up a tool.
