woodcrafting
Carving from timber
Woodcrafting is the skill or practice of working with wood to make objects by hand—carving, whittling, joinery, or building structures in natural settings.
The term often carries a rustic or traditional connotation, suggesting handwork rather than industrial manufacturing: She learned woodcrafting from her grandfather.
It overlaps with woodworking but emphasizes craft and artisanship.
