Find fault with record in woodworking (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

carpentry

'woodworking' is the definition.
('carpentry' can be a synonym of 'woodworking')

'find fault with record' is the wordplay.
'find fault with' becomes 'carp' (I've seen this before).
'record' becomes 'entry' (entry is a kind of record**).
'carp'+'entry'='CARPENTRY'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for carpentry that I've seen before include "Woodwork" , "Joining work" , "Craft of a woodworker" , "The purpose of chips" , "part of building" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
