The cabinetmaker's duty is to suply the customer with unique, and biutiful peices of furniture carved with a skilled hand. The success of cabinetmaking was so great that by the mid 18th century only one third of their furniture was imported from England. The skilled cabinetmaker could make; chairs, tables, bookcases, dressers, nightstands, desks, and instuments.
