I consider myself an advanced hobbyiest capable of building most anything given enough time, and the Auburn guild is probably the highest density of real pro's and similar minded shop owners to myself I've seen.
Woodcraft is one, SMF near Fry's off of Northgate towards the airport is another. For woods, Higgins lumber, Hughes lumber, Auburn hardwoods are my first choices generally.
There are 2 furniture / woodworking guilds you can choose from, both are held on the first Tuesday of the month. Sacramento Area Woodworkers (SAW) and the Auburn Woodworkers. You're just about 1/2 between both and frankly it's MUCH faster to get to and park at the Auburn location, then the SAW group due to downtown traffic and parking.
Welcome to the area. What industry do you work in?
