Which craftsman worked with solid wood?

• A. Veneerist
• B. Joiner
• C. Cabinetmaker
• D. Carver

Answer: (B)

Working with solid wood in the sense of assembling and connecting solid timber pieces is what defines a joiner. Veneerists specialize in applying thin sheets of wood (veneer) to a base, so their primary work isn’t about using solid timber throughout. Carvers shape and decorate solid wood by carving, focusing on form rather than the construction method. Cabinetmakers can work with solid wood or veneers and are broader in scope, but the specific emphasis on joining solid wood pieces points to the joiner. That focus on joining solid timber into components like doors, frames, and furniture explains why this craftsman is the best fit.
