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


Welcome to a brand-new episode of the Woodpreneur Podcast. Today, your host Steve Larosiliere is joined by John Stene from Stene Woodworks.

Most of Stene Woodworks' growth occurred in a cabinet shop. They didn't intend to become cabinet makers, but he had 17 years of experience working in cabinet shops. Just recently, he returned to his childhood home. The shop remained empty after Steve's father passed away. He so made the decision to open the shop and begin his business.

In this episode, John shares his first significant business accomplishment, the state of the South-Central Montana cabinet-making market, his main service to clients, the benefits of community involvement, and ways you can start making a difference today!
