How to use "Cabinetwork" in context?
In the late 18th century, cabinetmaking as an art form was in its infancy. The French cabinetmaker, Jean-Baptiste Silvestre, is credited with refining the craft and with popularizing the use of marquetry in cabinetmaking. Cabinetmakers at this time were using a variety of traditional methods, some of which were no longer up to the task of creating high-quality pieces.
One of the traditional methods cabinetmakers used was "throwing", in which the workpiece was dropped from a height onto an anvil. This method often caused damage to the workpiece, as it was prone to fracture.
