BiographyDon Wendel is a wood artist, craftsman, and handyman with both the aesthetic vision and the know-how to bring beautiful pieces of wood into furniture and art to life. In 2012 he won the Patrons Award in the 37th Juried Art Exhibition at the Lyndon House Arts Center in Athens, GA with a coffee table design crafted from a heavy slab of Catalpa wood, and inlaid with crushed turquoise. He recently completed a table from a unique slab of Black Walnut which had a few holes in it and some long slender cracks. He filled the holes and cracks with crushed turquoise tinted with some green to appear as water, and added some legs made from Crepe Myrtle
