If you want a rosewood veneer of any thickness let me know.

Ned, the rosewood veneer arrived. i will do as you state here for gluing veneer however you never replied about how to get the pegs hole on the veneer. do i trace out the holes ahead of time and drill them out? do i glue the veneer on first and then drill the holes out?
a buddy of mine suggested putting the veneer between 2 blocks with 1 block having the holes pre drilled out. that way the veneer will not split or anything when drilling out. he does not build guitars or anything but said that's what he would try if he were doing it. is this a good method maybe?
