JB seems to be the veneer expert 

@tv101 Not saying it’s terrible, just maybe not as good as having an actual piece of the wood lol. Worst case in this context 🤣 🤣

@NSJ – don’t really see that as a worst case option TBH – I’ve got a load of veneers here waiting for a use!

@tv101 Worst case you could maybe use random wood then add a veneer to match the top?

Neck blank has been routed, trussrod fitted and fretboard glued, I can get on with that tomorrow or something but in the meantime I’ve been out and levelled the top of the body blank then cut it out.
