Carpentry

Carpentry is a skilled trade and craft that involves cutting, shaping, and installation of building materials during the construction of buildings, ships, timber bridges, concrete formwork, etc. Historically, carpenters have been involved in all phases of construction, from framing houses and building staircases to installing cabinetry and finishing work. The scope of carpentry ranges from rough carpentry, which focuses on structural work and framing, to finish carpentry, which deals with aesthetic woodworking and detail-focused tasks.
