People decided to "raise" the carpentry profession that had been built since their ancestors' time. Households proactively searched for raw materials, searched for markets and took advantage of all conditions for loan capital through many channels to maintain production. At the end of 2010, the civil carpentry village of Tay Ho block was recognized by the province as a craft village, attracting 16/30 specialized households, of which 10 households had large-scale production, the products of the craft village were mainly popular items such as tables, chairs, beds, doors, cabinets, box frames...
