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. 3, record 5, English, - framer
