French term or phrase: aboutage
This has to do with wood processing: "Toutes les activités de la deuxième et de la troisième transformation du bois étaient concernées : aboutage, agencement, menuiserie, meubles, contreplaqués, lambris, moulures, lamellé collé."

I am not sure what "aboutage" could mean in this context. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks to jerryk for initiating this suggestion. I don't think it works in my particular context but there is no reason why some Kudoz should not be awarded. In fact, in my context, I think Jane's "woodworking" is probably what fits best. Thanks to all for participating: you are all a real gift.

agree RachelV: also found "finger jointing" in Ernst

neutral David Sirett: According to GDT, finger jointing is 'aboutage par entures multiples'. I think 'aboutage' on its own covers any sort of lengthening/heading joint.

lengthening joint / length joint / end-to-end joint

Explanation:
Source = Corkhill, T. The complete dictionary of wood.

Déf. = Assemblage de deux pièces de bois placées dans le prolongement l'une de l'autre, bout à bout.

D'après le Termium, "finger joint/jointing" est la traduction de "aboutage par/à entures multiples" (Assemblage en bout de pièces de bois comportant de nombreuses saillies qui pénètrent les unes dans les autres et sont liées par un adhésif).
