cabinetwork
Fine wooden furnishings
Cabinetwork is fine woodworking, especially the craft of making furniture and built-in storage.
The term emphasizes skilled joinery and finishing rather than rough carpentry: The Victorian house featured elaborate cabinetwork throughout.
A cabinetmaker practices this craft.
