The woodworkers from the Near East were ancient woodworkers. They used there woodworking skills to build great boats out of wood from the "Anatolian plateau along the Levantine coast." The wood from this plateau was desired so much by armies that invaded that the invading army demanded that the wood be paid as tribute (timberbits).
Woodworking with furniture has come a long ways in the past one hundred and fifty years. It has gone through many different styles. Throughout the Rococo period, woodworking on furniture became very ornate. During the Industrial Revolution, the furniture became less of an art form than it had been in the past (Morgan, Tony)

They are commended to carpenters, plumbers, and bell hangers. Bench planes have improved because a system of draw pins and tapered screws were added to allow the frog to be drawn down to the base securely. This improvement also helped with the adjustment of the throat opening without having to remove the plane iron. The improvement also gave more support to the cutter (R. Mallet).
The lathe has been improved by a group from the Philips Ergonomics Department. They made a ergonomically improved lathe which helps keep a healthy posture for the lathe operator. The healthy posture can be gained whether the operator is standing or sitting. The operator also has a good view of the work he or she is doing. Hammers have been improved also. The handles onow have grips on them so you can hang on to them better. The top of the hammer can also be rubber or iron (R. Mallet).
Bench planes have improved because there is not a tool out there that is better for shaving the edges of a door, or straightening a corner of a piece of wood that is twisted or warped. Lathes have improved because they are useful in many areas such as cutting, knurling, drilling, metalworking, metal spinning, and wood turning. Squares have improved because they keep all your corners sharp and your angles accurate. There is no equal for the handiness of a carpenter square (R.

King cites Gilbert as stating, “...[Michelangelo’s] design for the scaffold ultimately produced a sort of bridge, or rather a series of foot bridges that spanned the chapel from the level of the windows” (King 52). This design proved to be successful and once again showed just how bright Michelangelo was.

" It was characterized by "swirling lines, natural motifs like fruit and flowers, and dark woods like mahogany, rosewood and black walnut (Sometimes More is More)." The design came from France and included the use of not so dark wood and looked more natural. The Rococo Revival ended around 1870.
...s such at flowers and plants. This form was mainly embraced during its decline as a movement as it became so popular that it was being watered down and lost its ingenuity and integrity as an art form. this was helped by the first world war as the war required an influx of new technology to fight with. things were further stimulated by the returned growth of the economy which meant that people had more money to spend thus were able to purchase better quality and luxury products. art deco began after as the period of glamour and extravagance which saw the creation and usage of new materials such as metals chrome and platinum, and the increase usage of vibrant paters such as stripes and zigzags used of furniture pieces both movements have greatly influenced their later years even after the second world war up to the 1960s which saw art deco revived for a short while.

Carpenters have been around for a very long time. Carpentry is mentioned in the Bible several times, which lets you know it is a very old occupation. It has been described as one of the earliest occupations and trades that are still practiced today. Even though woodworking and woodcarving developed more recently into an art, man has long used woodworking to better their lives. The word “carpenter” has its roots in ancient times being a derivative of the ancient Latin word “carpentrius” meaning “maker of a carriage.” The Chinese, who are thought to be one of the earliest civilizations to use carpentry, date their woodworking back to 720 B.C. Many details were developed during this time by the Chinese. They used precise measurements to make pots, tables, and other pieces of furniture from wood. We know about the Egyptians and their knowledge of carpentry thanks to archaeologists unearthing many woodcarving pieces found in Egyptian tombs. Some archaeologists believe that the Egyptians were the first to put "finishes" on their wood workings. Finishing is putting some type of protective sealant on your wooden material to preserve it longer. The Roman’s carpenter’s tools included raps, adzes, and saws. The knowledge of woodworking possessed by the Egyptians, Chinese, and Romans was most certainly spread to other parts of the civilized world in ancient times.
Woodworking, a form of carpentry, has been around for centuries and overtime developed into a more modern art. Today people will mostly see woodwork in homes in the form of furniture and decorations, or even smaller things such as family heirlooms passed down by generations and simple crafts made by younger generations. The skill of woodworking, however, is not inherited but takes practice and years of experience to fully master. Even experienced woodworkers run into challenges sometimes. The key is to overcome that obstacle and find different ways to create something new from a piece of wood. It is interesting to see and go through the process in which a woodworker goes through
