A Miller on the Joiner

A woodworker who specializes in more ornamental work, such as making furniture, than does a carpenter.

"Wherever we went we were sure to be joined by some of his numerous friends. In this ambiance the discussion developed to fantastic proportions; the newcomer was fitted into the architectural pattern of his talk with the ease and dexterity of a mediaeval joiner or mason."

Henry Miller, The Colossus of Maroussi (1941).
