Carpentry village worth tens of billions in Da Lam

(Baonghean.vn)- Carpentry in Da Lam (Da Son, Do Luong) is a traditional profession that has long been associated with the people here and is currently developing strongly, creating jobs for hundreds of workers, with a total annual revenue of up to tens of billions of VND.

Continuing his family's traditional carpentry profession, Mr. Nguyen Cong Cuong, from Hamlet 10, Da Lam, has invested hundreds of millions of dong to open a wood processing workshop for more than 15 years now. The end of the year is the time when fine art wooden products are consumed the most, so the 12 workers in his workshop have to work continuously to produce enough products to meet orders.

Mr. Nguyen Cong Cuong's carpentry workshop in hamlet 10 Da Lam creates regular jobs for 12 workers.

Mr. Cuong said that the wooden products here are durable and beautiful, and are favored by consumers everywhere. Therefore, not only does it bring hundreds of millions of dong in income to his family each year, but the workers in his factory also have a steady income of 10 million dong per month.

The ceiling panels with Dong Son bronze drum patterns were made by the skillful hands of young craftsmen in Da Lam.

Not only Cuong’s family, many families in Da Lam have boldly spent hundreds of millions of dong to invest in facilities and machinery to develop the profession. Currently, the whole village has about 30 households doing carpentry, creating jobs for over 100 workers, of which the number of people making ceilings accounts for the largest proportion.

Da Lam carpentry products are made from various types of wood such as cajuput, rosewood, and yellow heart, to popular types such as cajuput and xoan dau, thus meeting the diverse needs of customers. The outstanding products of carpentry in Da Lam are also very diverse, including: tables, chairs, beds, cabinets, doors, wooden floors, etc.
