The work of a carpenter. Also, the result of such work; building in wood, orwoodwork in general. Carpentry is sometimes distinguished from framing as referring rather to the smaller members of a building, as window frames, stairs, if not highly finished, flooring, and the like; it is distinguished from joinery and cabinetmaking as being rougher and dealing rather with the essential parts of a structure than the more decorative parts, without which the building might still exist.
