Talk Story with an Advertiser: Injeyan Fine Woodworking
Injeyan Fine Woodworking (IFW) is a woodworking business that specializes in custom cabinets, entry doors, heirloom-grade furniture, and architectural millwork.
Art Injeyan originally learned about woodworking nearly 30 years ago, while serving a brief apprenticeship in a cabinet shop, after working for a store fixturing company. Prior to that, Art’s background had been as a lead pressman in a large screen-printing plant. He had a reputation for being detail oriented and meticulous. When a friend offered him a job doing showcases for stores and financial institutions, he decided to change industries. This turned out to be a life changing decision!
Early on, Art began educating himself in the arts of millwork, cabinet design, solid-wood joinery, laminates, and curved surfaces via books, manuals, and reference guides. When something new would come up, he would research it. (Because of that he now has a large reference library.) He earned his contractor’s license in 1997.
He says, “The numerous aspects of woodwork made sense to me from the start, and I learned very quickly.” IFW originated in Laguna Beach, California, serving high-end homes and many celebrities.
In early 2021, Art and his wife, Brenda, moved to Hawai‘i Island. His shop is located on their property, south of Captain Cook. Art is solution oriented and shares that he brought with him, “A professional work ethic: calls and emails are promptly answered. I show up to meetings on time and to work when scheduled.”
Specializing in custom remodels, IFW is unique because of the wide range of work Art can do. As a master craftsman, he is as adept at designing and building cabinets as he is at creating entry doors or fine furniture utilizing solid wood joinery. He is able to mill the raw wood, and work with it to the finished product. He is also one of the few people on the island who makes precision face frame cabinets with inset doors.
Being mostly self-taught, he is undaunted by challenges presented by new materials, designs, and building techniques. He currently uses a lot of sapele mahogany and other wood species which are readily available on the island, and is excited to try sustainable woods native to Hawai‘i Island. His is able to make many different things, from fences and decks to beautiful complex furniture pieces, and everything in between.
