Veteran Scholarship Recipient Seth Stallings

Lt. Seth Stallings, US Navy

We’re glad to introduce Craft Supplies USA Veteran Scholarship Recipient, Lt. Seth Stallings, US Navy.

Seth served as a Naval officer from 2001-2007 completing multiple deployments in various regions, including the North Atlantic, Eastern Mediterranean, Eastern Pacific, Persian Gulf, and Iraq.

Seth is an avid woodworker with a special interest in turning. He started woodworking a few years ago, but has never received any formal training.

“Most of my knowledge comes from watching YouTube videos, reading woodworking books, and seeking advice from local woodworkers. Some of my favorite online turners are Glenn Lucas, Kent Weakley, and Richard Raffan. Initially, I focused on turning pens, rings, and other small projects. As my confidence and skills improved, I began turning bowls and taking on more challenging projects. Woodworking and turning are not just hobbies for me; they are therapeutic and have provided a wonderful way for me to connect with my two sons.”

Seth looks forward to taking a Woodturning 201 class at the Dale L. Nish School of Woodturning in the fall of 2025, where he can improve his technique and learn skills that he can then share with his sons.
