A frame maker is a specialized kind of wood craftsman. Most people who do this kind of work also know general woodworking skills including how to build a cabinet or a book case from scratch. However, because there isn’t much call for custom built furniture, many wood crafts people go into frame making, which is still a popular niche.

The outside arm is one area that is occasionally skimped in finishing upholstered furniture. It is a visible area and needs to be neat looking, however, it receives no strain or wear and there is a tendency to just fasten the fabric so it looks neat without doing anything else. Some upholsterers just cover the opening in the frame with cardboard or burlap and apply the cover.
