About Steve McCombs
“I retired with over 20 years of service in the United States Army. I’ve enjoyed woodworking and working with my hands since a very early age. It’s always been fun to see what you can create from nothing. I taught a I wood turning class at the USO at Fort Belvoir, while I was a wounded warrior. I’ve found woodworking to be a very useful and healing. I’ve always said that it’s Sawdust Therapy. It’s my hope that it will be a blessing and a healing experience for you!” | Follow Steve on Instagram.
