Carpenters produce items out of Template:L. On wood-scarce maps, their main use is to build Template:Ls, as every other essential item in the game can be made from other materials. However, on Template:L maps or maps where wood is more common, they can be used to produce essential Template:Ls and Template:Ls, and all manner of other Template:L except statues. They can also create structures such as Template:Ls and Template:Lcases, which is very useful on maps where most Template:L is locked away under an Template:L.

To employ a carpenter, create a task at a Template:L or designate a construction.

Some players ignore carpentry, since all wood only has a Template:L of 1 (the lowest possible), and the Template:L will never amount to much. But Template:L is only one consideration - all beds are built by carpenters, and all dwarfs need a bed - and a high-quality bed can give happy Template:Ls, which become more valuable than gold sooner or later. That's a guaranteed happy thought to every dwarf every day.

It is notable that shields are both lighter weight than furniture, and also worth half again as much (25r weight and 15☼ base value for shields). This can come in handy if, for instance, you have a legendary carpenter but no skilled masons or craftsdwarves and are desperate for trading items.
