Tom founded Stellar in 1995
when by a wonderful series of events he was
introduced to the Native American Flute. The
experience of making flutes, honing techniques,
and creatively adding to the flute- making
technology has been an engaging, arduous, and
fulfilling task. It has come closer than
anything ever has to tapping Tom's talents and
energies to their fullest. His focus is true and
he loves his work.
Lily is " Stellar,
the next generation." She can take a flute blank
and turn it into a beautifully tuned and
finished flute. She knows every aspect of the
business from wood working to office management.
She is the creator of our website and keeps it
updated and current. She does all the
photography for the site. She has perfected the
process of applying the flute finish, and in
addition to this she does the thread wrap
decoration on our Standards. Lily wears many
different hats when it comes to Stellar Flutes.
She's versatile, talented and hard working. Lily
is engaged to Tom McNeilley who works for
Stellar making our Standard and Basic blocks.
WHERE IT HAPPENS
Tom lives and works on Phillips
Lake, a small and pretty western Washington
lake. Our surroundings are inspiring and we try
to remember to take time every day to enjoy
them.
Lily lives in Shelton, Washington with her
fiancé Tom McNeilley
Stellar Flutes have welcomed people into this
world and shepherded them into the next.
They have helped people through the loss of
loved ones, taken the anger out of divorce,
assisted in healing the injured. They have
calmed the incarcerated, and given direction to
the lost. Nothing could make us happier.
