Spanish term

carpintería de lo blanco

Spanish to English Art/Literary Architecture 17th century trades
This appears on a list of those involved in 17th century architectural works ("carpintero de lo blanco"). Googling the term, I see a book on it entitled:

Carpinteria de lo blanco en la arquitectura religiosa de Sevilla (Publicaciones de la Excma. Diputacion Provincial de Sevilla)

Any idea what this is?

This is the term used in Discovering Islamic Art, a virtual museum project I worked on for Musées Sans Frontières a few years ago.

"CARPINTERO DE LO BLANCO.-El que trabaja y labra la madera que entra en la composición de los edificios, y el que hace mesas, bancos, etc., en su taller.--Carpintero de obras de afuera y de taller"

From Diego López de Arenas, Breve compendio de carpintería de lo blanco y tratado de alarifes (1633), glossary in 1912 ed., p. 174.

Gómez-Moreno defines it as "la carpintería hecha totalmente con maderas escuadradas en contraposición de lo prieto.

Diego Rejón de Silva (1788) defines it thus: "Así se llamaba antiguamente la carpintería de fuera".

"De fuera" o "de afuera" means, I think, that this kind of carpentry is done outside the workshop, on site.
