The interviewer will ask this question if the woodworking position is in a particular niche. For example, the job you are interviewing for might be building custom cabinets, and the interviewer wants to see if you have experience building cabinets. Be honest and describe your experience doing the kind of work they advertised in the job description and how many years of experience you have if any.

If you do not have experience with the work described in the job announcement, avoid saying you have experience. It will be obvious you were dishonest once hired. Instead, say you do not have experience performing this type of work, but you learn quickly and are interested in developing your skills.

"No, I have not done this type of work before. My woodworking experience has been building custom furniture, but I am a quick learner and think I will rapidly pick up building custom cabinets. Furniture and cabinetry seem very similar, as they both require precise measurements and a vision of what the finished product will look like when completed."
