One who carves or cuts; a person who uses a corve basket in mining; a craftsperson who shapes wood or stone.
From 'carve' or 'corve' plus the suffix '-er' meaning 'one who does.' The term is archaic and largely replaced by modern synonyms.
Medieval craft guilds had strict hierarchies, and a 'corver' would have been an apprentice or journeyman learning the trade—the word itself represents an entire lost social structure.
