• About Carpentry-
• Carpentry is a skilled trade and a craft in which
  the primary work performed is the cutting,
  shaping and installation of building materials
  during the construction of buildings, ships,
  timber bridges, concrete formwork, etc.
  Carpenters traditionally worked with natural wood
  and did the rougher work such as framing, but
  today many other materials are also used and
  sometimes the finer trades of cabinetmaking and
  furniture building are considered carpentry.

• Impact of Covid-19 on Carpenters-
• Furniture-based businesses are struggling to make
  sense of the future. Large-scale cancellations of
  export orders and the possibility of bankruptcy
  of big buyers are likely to trigger a dire chain
  reaction for many of their suppliers in India,
  creating a crisis in an industry that employs
  millions. Two factors have hit the handmade
  luxury industry hard, besides, of course, the
  lack of demand which will persist even after the
  lockdown opens. One is the widespread raw
  material and supply chain disruptions. Artisans
  with a limited supply of raw material will be
  idle soon. Many are stuck with stock made for
  exhibitions and marketplaces that are now closed.
