        "text": "Finish carpentry utilizes a variety of materials, chosen based on durability, appearance, and budget. Common options include solid wood species like oak, maple, cherry, and pine, often selected for their natural beauty and ability to be stained or painted. MDF (Medium-Density Fiberboard) is a popular, cost-effective alternative for trim and moldings, especially when painting is desired, as it's stable and has a smooth surface. Plywood, particularly hardwood plywood, is used for custom cabinets and built-ins. For exterior applications or moisture-prone areas, rot-resistant woods or composite materials may be chosen to ensure longevity in the Bay Area climate.",
