I’ve never heard that before. Given the language issues that isn’t impossible, but everything I’ve heard suggest working with wood, but probably cabinets or furniture not houses. We do know that jobs involving working with wood existed then, but exactly what anyone was doing is really hard to pick out. I’m going to stick with cabinet maker as most likely but there isn’t enough evidence to be confident in anything.
Dont quote me but isnt the impression that Joseph wasnt a carpenter, but instead a stone mason?
Like you said, much more likely with the material they used for building and just as modest of a position for a commoner of his stature
