Well, its certainly good sport for that. I don't want Walnut! I was going to build bland mdf, probably cover with the cheapest veneer, since spraying mdf is naff, and spray that black. Gus' estimate for having the cabinets built, unfinished, was £2000. So, although its a pity to damage that lovely walnut, its a bloody sight cheaper this way than using "virgin" mdf.
Owen suggested having a "sock" made, but I can see that ending up costing as much as the bloody cabinets, since it would need to be a snug fit and felt lined. I'll wait to see if they are keepers before performing any acts of vandalism to get the final finish. I might have left them Afromosia, or another light wood, but Walnut really is not us. Mind - we'd be at home in France, where they seem to go in for these dark heavy interiors.
I hae me doots about whether they'll stay - but lets not rush to prejudge.
