being a good woodworker is covering up your mistakes though. If i did that, and there wasnt an option to just recut a new board (lets say it was 12 inch wide, 12/4 walnut or something very expensive, id either glue up a 1/8th accent strip on either end of the board, making it a design highlight, or just do a 1/8th glueup from the cutoff and grain match it best possible. Walnut is wide grain, so i bet you could get away with it for a 1/8th section and not have it be noticeable unlike some of the more grain heavy woods.
All that said, id only do those things for myself. If a customer paid for a design, and this dude fucked it up, replace the wood, eat the cost, and give the customer what they deserve
