craftsmanship
Dictionary says 'workmanship' but I do not agree in this context. From your context, it seems that a lot of care and skill has been put into this job, and so it is more the job of a skilled craftsman - a workman need not be skilled. As a native English speaker, 'Craftsmanship' seems right here.

: I think you're right. Workmanship is more about the technical proficiency, whereas craftsmanship describes the end result more.

craftmanship
Det kunne måske være fristende at sige "arts and crafts", men den vending betyder "kunsthåndværk".
