Our Story
We are Sharon and David Yonenaka, the owner/operators of Fine Line Joinery. Here is a little about us:
Shortly after starting our family in 1999, we decided that we would prefer to raise our children in a small town, rural atmosphere rather than the fast pace of the Bay Area. So, in 2002 we packed up and moved from Oakland, CA to Grass Valley with our 2 year old daughter and newborn son in tow. Having been a successful general building contractor since 1990, I (David) then decided to focus more on my lifelong passion for fine woodworking and obtained my C-6 Cabinetry, Millwork and Finish Carpentry specialty license. That led to working on jobs performing finish carpentry projects, cabinet installations and eventually some custom cabinetry fabrication. The fabrication took me away from working on job sites to more time in the shop, well, our garage. With a baby and a toddler at home, it was a perfect time to be spending less of it away, and I immediately recognized this as an opportunity to experience more of my kids’ growing up.
Fast forward to 2018, our toddler and baby have become Nevada Union High School students (young adults, really), one a college bound Senior headed to San Diego State and the other, a soccer obsessed and track sprinting Sophomore trying to navigate his way through NCAA eligibility rules. We have become embedded in our community, participating in, and sometimes sponsoring, many of our favorite local events. Fine Line Joinery has moved from a 2 car garage to a 4,500 square foot facility in the Loma Rica Drive Industrial Area, arguably Western Nevada County’s most important business hub. The scope and variety of our projects has grown, and now Sharon manages the office while I run shop production.
What has remained constant over the last 3 decades, is our commitment to offer customers the finest product, the best service and the highest value that we possibly can.
