furniture building

Making wooden pieces

Furniture building is the craft of constructing furniture—chairs, tables, cabinets, beds—typically from wood.

The term emphasizes the construction process rather than design or finishing: She took up furniture building as a hobby.

Distinguished from furniture making, which may include upholstery and other non-structural work.
