I'd like to add veneer to the headstock of this tennis uke. A couple of years ago, I used a piece of veneer from Stew-Mac, but I don't want to spend $10. Instead, I'm going to use the same wood that I used for the top - cedar from Stew-Mac. That will cover up the mess from trying to saw the angle from two sides.
What's the relationship between the fretboard, nut, and veneer? Does the veneer go right up to the fretboard, or do I leave a gap for the nut?
Leaving a gap doesn't sound practical. but with the veneer right up against the fretboard, the nut would be too high. Maybe sanding down the veneer to the level of the neck would allow room for the nut.
Typing this has forced me to think.
