Box Building 102

Don has exhibited his work at over 500 Art and Craft shows all over the country including the prestigious Smithsonian Craft Show. In 2011, Don was commissioned by the US State Department to design and build cuff link boxes to hold the Presidential cuff links given to visiting dignitaries.

In early 2018 Don retired from the show circuit and started the South Florida Woodworking School which he sold in early 2020 and moved back to Massachusetts where he is teaching at the local Woodcraft store and privately.
