Check this out. This guy is either really fast at carving/woodworking or he has way too much time on his hands.

Very impressive.
I am impressed with the skills some have for carving. Here in Colorado most carvings are done with a chainsaw and, to me, are so-so. The wife and I made a trip to Fiji this year and we bought a carving that just blew us away. To the best of our knowlege it was done with only hand tools by a native Fijian - the wood is a single piece of Saman (a form of Koa I think). The carving is just over 5 feet tall.

I would say that "carpenter" doesn't adequately describe this man's ability to create things in wood.
