# Carpentry and Woodworking on Krk

> Traditional Krk woodworking encompassed two main trades — carpentry (tesarstvo, focused on structural and rough work like roof construction, framing, and large-scale work) and joinery/cabinet-making (stolarstvo, focused on furniture, doors, windows, and finer interior work). Both trades were essential to construction and household life, supporting roof construction across the island's stone buildings, producing furniture and household items, and providing repair services. While substantially diminished as everyday occupations, the trades persist on Krk through heritage-restoration work, custom furniture-making, and continuing demand from traditional construction. Boat-building (described in maritime entries) is a related but distinct woodworking specialization.
