He pushed his skills through practice, books and talking with fellow woodworkers until discovering the works and teachings of James Krenov along with some of the other masters of the field. He attended Rosewood Studio where he refined his skills further and started making custom pieces for clients. Steven teaches private lessons in his own shop as well as classes and seminars at Lee Valley Tools, colleges and woodworking clubs. He is also a contributor to Canadian Woodworking and Home Improvement magazine. “I enjoy teaching as inevitably I end up learning something and I never want to stop learning” Although his passion is creating one of a kind pieces, Steven also enjoys making tools such as wooden hand planes or bow saws to work the wood for those pieces. Steven lives and runs a small shop Mississauga, Ontario.

Solid wood is his foundation, but he often incorporates rock slabs, small stones and copper into commissioned pieces as well as speculative work. However it is his use of hand-made Japanese paper that draws him a lot of attention. From traditional shoji screens to cabinet doors ornamented with what he calls “paper on paper”, his designs are simple, strong and stylish. Many of his pieces are in galleries and private residences across Canada. About 4 years ago Rob became the editor of Canadian Woodworking & Home Improvement Magazine, though he continues to build studio furniture on a regular basis.
