What is the difference between carpentry and cabinetry?
The difference between carpentry and cabinetry relates to what artisans working in these woodworking fields create. Carpenters use carpentry techniques to build furniture and framing for houses. Performed by cabinetmakers, cabinetry is the term for producing built-in storage in kitchens and other areas. Some cabinetmakers also produce casegoods, such as bookcases.
