yay neck cavity repair day!

I ran around to a few stores looking for 0.6mm thin veneers but same old story. They don't stock anything that thin.
So I threw caution to the wind and decided to make my own.

Took out dad's wood plane (wihtout any idea how to use it) and destroyed a piece of pine.
Had to do a ton of shave to get shavings long and wide enough to be useful... and made a real mess.

Next took 3 shavings and laminated them together with everyone's favourite wood glue titebond as individual shavings were too thin
Clamped and waited for them to dry and cut to the neck cavity's size

Then used some ultra high tech to apply pressure to the veneer against the cavity.
(I didn't want to use clamps as was worried pressure would dent the wood or paint job)
