Comment: "Thanks to Gilbert for initiating his suggestion, and for all the others who participated. I would like specially to thank Jan Lamb-Ruiz for her contribution (although I cannot award her points in this case because of the structure of this forum); her "woodworking" suggestion was spot-on. I would also suggest that "milling" is a process used with wood even though "usinage" is not used much outside metalwork. Again, thanks to all. I come away from these dialogues much refreshed."

How about just plain
WOODWORKING.....it means to take the wood and do things to it generically....that would work here, right?
as opposed to say carpentry....
After looking at a bunch of sites with the term in French, I think it would work...so then, you have joinery or joining and woodworking...

: milling is usually usinage and the context seems to be a list of products

I don't think so; it's a list of wood processing stages or phases; and I'm not sure about usinage for wood...
