Beautifully done, as usual.

Gonna have to invent some new adjectives to
describe your sterling work, Bubba.


Leonized. Leonated. Leonism. Leonogical (Leonogically).

Ahhhh..., yes, hmmmmm..., Ok, how about a historical reference?
Leonardo de Bubba!!


Bubbalated: When applicable, a reference to steam bending wood, via
bubbled water.

I finished the face frames for my walnut bathroom corner cabinets. They
are ready to install. I was on a roll, had the walnut already pulled out
(from the bath cabinet project), so I decided to cut the face frames for
the entertainment center and did the fluting work. Spent 4 hours doing
that, when I realize the entertainment center is made of cherry. Arrgh!

What's the adjective(s) for that mental lapse?

Walnutted, noun, wallnutting, adverb, Applying walnut to EVERYTHING!
Whether it moves or not.

But as Leon pointed out, walnut can go well with cherry. Remember the old
craftsman maxim, it ain't a defect, it is a FEATURE! Also, you always have
a good back story for the feature. Something like this;

Well, I just happened to have some real pretty walnut in the garage and
thought it would look nice on the entertainment center. And it does! It
contrasts nicely with the cherry. Enjoy it while you can because the cherry
will darken with age and they will become much more similar after awhile.
Such is the nature of wood and craftsmanship.

Remember the necessary qualities to be a craftsman. Tools, skills, quality
materials, lots of jigs and good story telling ability. (I am being
incredibly diplomatic on that last item.)
