wood manufacturing
We know what this industry makes (all sorts of wooden objects from barrels to cheese boxes, poles and carts) but what is it called in English as an inustry or sector? All help appreciated! Woodworking doesn't seem to cover it.

Comment: "Hey, we like this, thanks. We shall just add sector. It is a tossup between this and the woodworking sector, both are good."

An option.
Note from asker:
| Yes, we saw that too, but it seems to refer mostly to barrels and such. Here we are talking about cheese and wine boxes, wooden spoons, posts for vinyards, etc. |

: That's certainly the official translation, though I doubt most people would understand the meaning in EN!

wooden ware
Found by accident in the entry under wooden spoon here
http://www.conceptexplore.com/xml_files/html_files/DictFile_...
Also here listed as an economic activity
http://www.statistics.gov.uk/methods_quality/sic/indexW.asp
This certainly applies to cheese boxes, wine boxes, wooden spoons, etc.
However, posts and carts are a little more bothersome, hence my low confidence

I've googled this idea with quite a lot of hits.

I know you said it didn't cover it, but perhaps adding sector or the likes is the only thing you can do to encompass everthing... depending on your context you could use Miranda's woodenwares but this really seems to be for smaller items.

Note from asker:
| This is pretty close. We have also now found the woodworking industry as the manufacture of decorative and utilitarian objects . |
