Woodworker: Donald J. SutkusBy the time he’d gotten two degrees in aerospace engineering and worked for Boeing for six years, Sutkus says, “I just didn’t feel like I was wearing the right clothes.” After two years at NBSS, he is back in Seattle operating a one-man shop. He loved the program, but the transition has been a challenge. “It’s so difficult to make a reasonable living,” he says. “That being said, it was a great time.” Sutkus’s mahogany cabinet, 9-1/2 in. deep by 15 in. wide by 19 in. tall, is made with satinwood and ivory inlay. Its interior arches were adapted from a piece by John and Thomas Seymour and the carving is drawn from a sofa by Samuel McIntire.
