Why is a carpentry patch being termed as 'dutchman'? What is the history of the term?

They coined the term ''dutchman'' to refer to the act of covering up sloppy workmanship, whether with a plaster veneer or a wooden patch. After a while, though, even the nativist English realized that wattle and daub was a huge hassle and the new technique was faster, cheaper and allowed for more decorative detail. A dutchman, or for some uses, graving pieced is a repair technique for replacing small sections of a damaged area. The term is used in woodworking, masonry, railroading, boatbuilding and theater.
