 In Laramie, Wyoming this scene outside his shop is typical.

One of those special moments when Pops was caught next to a display of his treasures in his son's home at Christmas time 1999.

The craftsman hard at work.

Day's end and time to relax.

Good thing Kay never caught him doing this on her kitchen table ... giggle.

Pops hard at work on a new shelving unit for his living room.

Shelving unit is finished and ready to be installed.

Installed shelves make a wonderful display in his living room.

This picture shows many items he created; including the wall paneling, headboard, shelf, and bowls.

This picture shows the headboard and bowls he made for one of his guest rooms.

This exact replica of a Union Pacific Railroad "Challenger" was built by Sierra Vista craftsman, Wilbur Fry, a retired machinist for the Canadian National Railroad.  Clate purchased the model from Wilbur in 1993.  Pops built a special glass display case trimmed in cherry and displayed it in many businesses around Laramie until  he finally decided to place the display in his living room. 

Here Pops is standing next to the "Challenger" replica at the grand opening ceremony for the newly constructed Meredith & Jeannie Ray Regional Cancer Center building of the Ivinson Memorial Hospital.  He donated it to the Hospital where it was placed in the lobby of the new cancer center.

The following three pictures are of his shop as it looked a few days before he passed away.

Two pictures of his last bowl still on the lathe.

The bottom of the bowl was inscribed by his son days after the funeral and reads "Clayton Stehman's Last Bowl May 21, 2003.  His Spirit will live in our hearts forever.  April 29, 1914 - May 22, 2003."  This has become the most precious item he ever crafted and we are proud to display it in our home.
