A cutting carpenter, also known as a sawyer, is someone who uses saws to cut and shape wood for carpentry projects. They are skilled in the use of various saws, such as circular saws, band saws, and jigsaws, to create precise cuts in wood. They may also use other tools, such as chisels and planes, to shape the wood. Cutting carpenters are essential to the construction industry, as they are responsible for creating the components that make up the structure of a building.
