Satoshi and his wife Marcia were able to take my rough, hand-drawn sketch for a tv console with shelf and matching desk, and translate it to an elegant, timeless piece of furniture that turned our fragmented living room into a seamless space. It is not only the impeccable craftsmanship that we will continue to enjoy every day, but it was great fun working with them to conceptualize and agree on a final design. I didn't have unlimited budget, and Marcia was able to help me determine where we could lower costs without sacrificing quality. Highly recommended.

I worked with Marcia and Satoshi on an office project for a client in downtown Honolulu. They did an outstanding job of transforming the the existing 80's laminate counter tops into live-edge monkeypod counterparts. Marcia was extremely helpful, very easy to communicate with, and I couldn't be more pleased! I would highly recommend Satoshi Yamauchi Woodworks for any custom woodworking job!

Beyond excellent woodworking and customer service/consultation to make a unique custom table, including with coordination with a furniture maker in Washington. We can't say enough good about the excellent communications we had to make this table exactly what we wanted!

We love our beautiful monkeypod slab dining table. We were recommended to contact Marcia & Satoshi by our friends and we are very happy to have found them. First, Marcia came over to our house to get a feel of our home and decor. Satoshi and Marcia then came up with some designs. We appreciated their attention to detail and the time and focus they put to our project. Needless to say, we were stunned by Satoshi's craftsmanship. I believe he is one of the very few furniture makers who are able to build fine furniture.

We recently renovated our kitchen and dining areas. We were searching for a new dining table that would match the new wood flooring and decor. After looking at the many dining tables at all the local furniture companies, we found only veneer table tops that felt cheap. I could not find a solid hardwood table that would fit the new dimensions of the new dining area and could comfortably accommodate eight people.

Through a referral from a happy client, I contacted Satoshi Woodworks and was pleasantly greeted by Marcia, who arranged a personal visitation to our home with Satoshi. They saw our new renovations to fully understand what we wanted and took exact measurements to ensure the table would perfectly fit our dining area to comfortably accommodate everyone sitting at the table.

He offered to create a George Nakashima designed dining table to address my desire for comfortable leg space (not hindered by the table legs). The table was absolutely strong and sturdy. It was clean looking and smooth. My guests had nothing but compliments. Most importantly, it felt like a dining table that will last for many years and would be a great centerpiece for our open dinning/kitchen area. It was a pleasure working with Marcia and Satoshi. They take pride in their work to a level of pure perfection.

We had a couple of tables made for our home in Kahala. The 8 foot monkeypod slab dining came out really nice and Satoshi has far exceeded my expectation on quality. We appreciate your fine craftsmanship. We will cherish the tables for many many years to come!

Best furniture maker in Honolulu! Impeccable craftsmanship. I have two wood furniture pieces made by Satoshi and I'm already thinking of commissioning more work. It was a long wait but well worth the wait. My monkey pod dining table is lovely and all my visitors comment on how beautiful it is! Thank you Satoshi and Marcia for your commitment to excellence! Anybody looking for a furniture maker in Honolulu, I recommend getting in touch with them.

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. HIGHEST QUALITY! Satoshi is, without a doubt, a TRUE ARTIST and craftsman. He produces the highest quality and most beautifully made custom pieces I have seen and he makes each piece exactly to his clients' specifications. The pieces are of the utmost quality and craftsmanship. I expect our pieces will last a lifetime and beyond.

Thus far my husband and I have purchased custom bookshelves, a custom dining table and custom cabinets from Yamauchi Woodworks. All EXACTLY what we wanted/envisioned. Our tastes are more contemporary/modern/clean (vs "Hawaiiana") and we were having a VERY hard time finding anyone locally that could/would make our style of furniture. I am sure Satoshi can produce pieces in many styles, but I can attest to the fact that he is expert at the kind of style we prefer.

We plan to have Satoshi make more custom pieces for us in the future. I am interested in seeing what he does with reclaimed wood, as I like the contemporary "rustic" look as well. Ava

I commissioned a desk for my office. Not only did Satoshi craft a desk that met all my specifications--including pull-out keyboard tray that can be adjusted left and right and a printer cabinet with casters--the final product looks amazing, thanks to his great choice of wood and drawer handles. Two years on, it still looks fantastic.
