Don Kondra

Self taught furniture designer/maker Don Kondra works from his home on an acreage a short drive out of Saskatoon. His first article appeared in the Nov 1995 issue of Canadian Home Workshop magazine.  It featured a kitchen bench with a bent laminated seat cut from a single board and curved legs. Don humorously recalls that the article was produced on a typewriter.

In May 1996 Don officially joined the ”Ask A Pro” team as its finishing expert and soon took on the additional roll of woodworking expert. Don is now into his 32nd year as a professional woodworker and primarily focuses on private commissioned pieces of his own design using solid woods and fine veneers. He also offers custom finishing services, workshops and has recently added product photography to his repertoire.
