Carpenters at working on a master piece
A
carpenter
is a person who works with
wood
. They can make
cabinets
, build
houses
, or do other things with wood.
Carpenters are always adding to their tools and always learning how to use the new tools, materials, and ways of working with wood.
Many carpenters will choose to focus their skills in one of two broad ranging categories. Rough carpenters will focus on building things that need to be simple and structural. This includes framing for
houses
, or
crates
for shipping. Finish carpenters will focus on things that are detailed and artistic. For example, they can be
furniture
builders,
cabinet makers
or
toy
makers.
Wood carvers
are sometimes counted as carpenters.
