woodworks
Crafted lumber pieces
Woodworks is primarily a noun referring to the wooden parts or fittings of a building—door frames, baseboards, moldings, window casings: The woodworks throughout the Victorian house were ornately carved.
The phrase come out of the woodworks (or woodwork) describes people appearing unexpectedly or in surprising numbers, as if emerging from hidden places: Critics came out of the woodworks after the announcement.
