THE SCOPE AND NATURE OF CARPENTRY
The word “carpenter” is the English rendering of the Old French word carpentier (later, charpentier) which is derived from
the Latin carpentarius [artifex], “(maker) of a carriage.” The Middle English and Scots word (in the sense of “builder”)
was wright (from the Old English wryhta, cognate with work), which could be used in compound forms such
as wheelwright or boatwright.

Wood is one of mankind's oldest building materials. The ability to shape wood improved with technological advances
from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age to the Iron Age. Some of the oldest archaeological evidence of carpentry are
water well casings. These include an oak and hazel structure dating from 5256 BC, found in Ostrov, Czech Republic and
one built using split oak timbers with mortise and tenon and notched corners excavated in eastern Germany, dating from
about 7,000 years ago in the early Neolithic period.
Relatively little information about carpentry is available from pre-history (before written language) until printing press was
invented in the 15th century and builders began regularly publishing guides and pattern books in the 18th and 19th
centuries. The oldest surviving complete architectural text is Vitruvius' ten books collectively titled De architectura, which
discuss some carpentry.
Some of the oldest surviving wooden buildings in the world are temples in China such as the Nanchan Temple built in
782, the Greensted Church, parts of which are from the 11th century, and the stave churches in Norway from the 12th
and 13th centuries.
Apprenticeships, Journeymen and Master Carpenter
Tradesmen in countries such as Germany and Australia are required to fulfill a formal apprenticeship (usually three to
four years) to work as a professional carpenter. Upon graduation from the apprenticeship, he or she is known as
a journeyman carpenter. After working as a journeyman for a while, a carpenter may go on to study or test as
a master carpenter. In some countries, such as Germany, Iceland and Japan, this is an arduous and expensive process,
requiring extensive knowledge (including economic and legal knowledge) and skill to achieve master certification.
