cabinet-maker Explanation: In English, this represents equally well the finest grade of craftsmanship, required to make furniture of all kinds (not *just* cabinets!). 'Woodworker' would indeed be down-grading the level of skill, it is more usually applied to a hobby carpenter, or more generally, to anyone who works with wood. |
