The meaning of Fret Work-

Fretwork is an interlaced decorative design that is either carved in low relief on a solid background, or cut out with a fretsaw, coping saw, jigsaw or scroll saw. Most fretwork patterns are geometric in design. The materials most commonly used are wood and metal. Fretwork is used to adorn furniture and musical instruments. The term is also used for tracery
on glazed windows and doors. Fretwork is also used to adorn/decorate
architecture.

Fretwork patterns originally were ornamental designs used to decorate
objects with a grid or a lattice. Designs have developed from the
rectangular wave Greek fret to intricate intertwined patterns. A common
misconception is that fretwork must be done with a fretsaw. However, a
fretwork pattern is considered a fretwork whether or not it was cut out
with a fretsaw.
