Indigo Wood and Metalworks
        


                          Don Augstein began Indigo Wood & Metalworks (IWM)
after owning a successful construction business in the Bay Area for 23 years.
His passion for design and fabricating functional works of art are the
inspiration that brought IWM to life.

   Blending a beautiful variety of woods, metals and wonderful color are the
focus. Part of the excitement is creating furniture pieces that are original,
functional, and fit perfectly in their new environment. Don works one on one
with owners from concept to installation. Whether it is cabinets, tables, gates,
or sculptors, IWM's goal is to build unique, well designed products that last a
lifetime.

   Don is from the east coast, moved to  California in 1970 to attend the
University of the Pacific where he received his BA. After college he worked
with a talented cabinet maker and realized his passion. He opened the doors
of Augstein Construction in 1978 and remodeled some of the finest homes in
California. In 2000 Don decided to change direction, blending his love of art,
working with wood and metal to create  Indigo Wood and Metalworks. Don
has a shop in Grass Valley, CA.
