Steve Blanton, Owner

Steve Blanton is from western North Carolina and a graduate of the Professional Crafts-Wood program at Haywood Community College.  Stephen grew up knowing his way around his father’s workshop and quickly realized that his life’s work would be based around using his hands and the skill set that he would eventually acquire.  Having a good base of skills, he began working in a cabinet shop at the age of sixteen, within a few years he was creating furniture for the interior of his own home.  Wanting to expand his knowledge and understand the traditions unique to this region he enrolled at Haywood Community College.  Stephen started Wooden Steel Craft in 2015 and occupies an heirloom studio in west Waynesville where he is the fourth generation to occupy the space.
