hogwash :: ketchcraft
choose one:

b) the Wiccan practice of casting spells to ensure the proper functioning of food preparation
c) the art of sauce making
d) delicate woodwork detailing such as may be found decorating pews and pillars in churches and cathedrals; the art of carving such detailing

f) the art of making ketchup
g) the hangman's craft (from Jack Ketch, a famous London executioner, c. 1663-1686)
h) a type of strong brown paper used esp. for making lunch bags or sacks (also formerly, used to refer to a sackcloth garment worn by an offender when doing public penance)
i) the process of manufacturing masts for single-masted sailing vessels used primarily in light craft obstacle maneuvers (handling) and racing
j) the art of drawing with tomato sauce
k) the creation of artworks meant to be impermanent, i.e. sculptures made of sand, ice, or foam
l) whittling
m) cooking with ketchup
n) Scandinavian cabinetry making

(entries from Wordwind, slithy, wofa, W-O'N, *TEd, Bingley, Faldage, bonzai, mg, ASp, 'sick, Jeepers, consuelo, joe f.)
*I think his was more of a protest-vote than an entry but.
---
also, I'll take this opportunity to announce a new, occasional hogwash® auxiliary award, the 'Armadillo Roadside Memorial' (ARMil®); nominations for this award are open in concert with the regular voting, and any decision on the awarding of the ARMil will be arbitrarily and capriciously taken by the hogmaster® (i.e., me) based upon nominations received from the hogminions (i.e., y'all).

In the spirit of wanting a place to put my Sedgewick, I'll cast my vote for N, if'n that's the Scandanavian entry.
Can't remember for the life of me if it was Sedgewick or Sedgwick...?

Ah yes, I been known to dabble in the ephemeral. My heart and my mind cast two votes for... EEMy vote for the Armadillo Roadside Memorial Award goes to L

Whittling can't be anything else; whittling is whittling.

I'll reject all but d and k because all the others link to ketchup or small boats, and are therefore spurious.
d) delicate woodwork detailing
k) the creation of artworks meant to be impermanent
d...k...d...k...dee..kay...de.cay...decay! Impermanent!! That would make it K!!!
So I'll vote for D, of course.

I like b and g but I'll go with D.
A question about the ARMil® award. Is it to be awarded to a single person (e.g., the perpetrator of i for ignoring the nothing-to-do-with-boats clue) or a category (in this case the ketchup daffinitions) and therefore to be shared among the perpetrators?

While D is a beautifully crafted daffynition, and K is plausible, but incorrectly punctuated -- dead giveaway--... after some musing I think I'll take E
