I m sure there are even more professions that work with wood to
construct something, e.g. specialized in building yachts etc.
- wood turner .. for a person doing wood tuning in a lath.

? more? Probably.
I thought that a builder/repairer of wooden boats would be a boatwright.
? May not be just wooden .. fibreglass, metal .. ?
A google suggests that it is a surname, no trade suggestions. It may
have been a trade in the past.

A cabinet maker works to much tighter tolerances .. 1 mm or less is
usual. Hammers are used for light assembly.
The wood worker for a house is a carpenter .. they work to tolerance
of 5 or more mm .. hammers get used (sometimes with much force!) to
correct 'minor' alignments. These people do house frames, floors,
roof frames, doors and door frames. They do not fit kitchens - that
is cabinetry and needs a cabinet maker (unless the cabinets are 'flat
packs' any one can do those!).
A person may have both skill sets enabling them to do both jobs.
I’d expect a decent carpenter/framer to get things within 1/16 of an
inch or so which would be under 2 mm. I would have been very unhappy
if the carpenters I recently hired were as sloppy as 5 mm, fortunately
they we good at their trade.
Might be under 1/16 after the hammer application. Or probably after
packing out the frame to the fittings (like windows, doors).
