I'd welcome it as an unranked skill, though for artisans and laymen and for those of the crafter sort, the ranked skill would add variety. It couldn't hurt. It would be just one more thing for players to spend their skill points on.
That aside, I've also done a mock up of a Carpentry revision just merged with my woodworking proposal.
Carpentry (Any Class)
Novice - Given a design and tools, the character can construct a simple enclosure made of wooden poles or branches and skins. They also know how to pick out the best quality woods and use the grains to their advantage. They may craft staves and shafts for items.
Apprentice - Given a design and tools, the character can construct rudimentary wooden structures, cabins and the like. They can tell a wood type just by examining it. They may now craft table legs and decorative posts for furniture. They have begun to make flat works such as wooden plaques.
Journeyman - Given design and tools, the character can construct complex wooden shapes and form blocks from stone for building, though not decorative shapes. They can make thatched roofing. They know the best oils and polishes to use for different wood types. They may now craft simple wooden tables, and boxes and know how to create and use wooden pegs and tongue-and-groove slots for assembly.
Expert - Able to create simple stone structures, given a design, a tower or keep. Able to make a wooden shingled roof. They know which seasons bring the best quality of which woods and where to best gather them. They can now craft chairs, wooden shutters and more complex goods, and incorporate different material pieces into their works, such as metal hinges, without splitting the wood.
Master - This character is capable of creating a castle or even a palace from the designs given to them. They excel at decorative stonework and woodwork in their buildings. They now know how to best preserve wood gathered throughout the seasons for stock, be it for crafting or other means. Their crafted pieces are ornate and worthy of the Imperial Palace. They can make nearly anything of wood, including curves surfaces and items such as wagon wheels and round disks, for tables, plaques, and other uses.
