finish carpentry
Decorative wood detailing
Finish carpentry is the detailed woodwork that completes a building's interior—trim, molding, baseboards, door casings, built-in cabinetry.
Distinguished from rough carpentry (framing, structural work), finish carpentry is visible in the completed space and demands precision and aesthetic judgment: The finish carpentry in that Victorian is exceptional.
