During College and University years and throughout his Engineering career, he continued to develop woodworking skills; building furniture, helping to construct cottages and completing a house addition as well as several renovations. After retiring from Engineering he and his wife settled on Manitoulin Island where he has a wood working shop and a unique home combining conventional and timber frame techniques using local timber, lumber and stone.\u00a0 He formed <strong>Nelson Woodcraft<\/strong> in 2009 and photos of some of his completed projects are shown below. Don specializes in projects where he takes a customer\u2019s concept or idea, develops the detailed design, and produces a tailored product.\u00a0 Recently he has collaborated with Island artisans on the final finishing touches as highlighted in the photos of the night table.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Photo Gallery<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Custom Woodwork<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nelsonwoodcraft.ca\/?p=25\">night table<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nelsonwoodcraft.ca\/?p=40\">cabinets<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nelsonwoodcraft.ca\/?p=70\">memorial bench<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nelsonwoodcraft.ca\/?p=81\">quilting roller frame<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nelsonwoodcraft.ca\/?p=50\">kitchen island<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nelsonwoodcraft.ca\/?p=89\">picture frames<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Finish Carpentry<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nelsonwoodcraft.ca\/?p=58\">stairs<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nelsonwoodcraft.ca\/?p=94\">doors and trim<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nelsonwoodcraft.ca\/?p=103\">windows and trim<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Other Projects<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>deck<\/li>\n<li>refreshment stand<\/li>\n<li>building addition<\/li>\n<li>timber frame porch roof<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Email don (at) nelsonwoodcraft (dot) ca.<\/p>\n<p>You may also like:<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Nelson Technical Services: Thunder Bay, Ontario<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Automation and Controls Specialist.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Nelson Woolcraft:\u00a0 Providence Bay, Ontario<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Custom knitting commissions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Location: Gore Bay, Ontario Don Nelson initially started woodworking as a part-time helper to a master craftsman cabinetmaker while in high school.
