Definition: Finish carpentry is the last step of the carpentry process. The finish carpenter performs tasks such as installing baseboards, crown molding, and other millwork elements which are viewable (as opposed to carpentry within walls, which will later be enclosed). Finish carpentry requires more skill and the touch of a craftsman because of its aesthetic appeal.
Examples:
Towards the end of the remodeling of the kitchen, the finish carpenter came in and installed the crown moldings.
