WOODWORKING TRADES.

The woodworking trades extend to every form of work done in wood. The carpenter, aside from his other duties, has developed as a framer for reenforced concrete structures, and in most large cities the trade is subdivided to include joiners, stair builders, car builders, millwrights, planing mill bench hands, and operators of woodworking machinery. The wood carver has extended his activities from hand carving to cover machine and spindle wood carving as well as modeling and designing. The wood lather is a specialist.
