Construction of a building requires labourer from various fields and one such is carpentry. It is one of the skills that involve the worker to cut as well as install materials used while building. This can be timber or concrete work depending upon the nature of the project. Usually a carpenter is required for doing wood work. In the past years, carpenters were perhaps only hired if wooden frames were required or so. But as the years have progressed and with new and modern designs, people prefer wooden cabinets in kitchens, wardrobes, shelves and much more. Well as far as the occupation of carpentry is concerned, it is mostly male dominated and that perhaps is because of the nature of the job. Like most skilled Labour, this too does not require much of an educational qualification, but experience is what makes you a master. Although many people these days prefer cement and concrete as the building material to trust on, but in the olden days it was wood. The use of wood dates back to pre-historic times when oak was used for the casing of water well.

Carpentry work can date back to Ming Dynasty in China and their work was not restricted to wood only. They were required to take some crucial decisions such as when to build the house for instance and which direction should it face, questions that one would today perhaps discuss with architecture.
