Mark likes to aesthetically match the hardwoods that he uses for his headstock veneers with his rosettes. In the case of my Bristlecone, we had decided to use Brazilian RW, so he wanted me to select a veneer for the peghead first. Here are eight different veneers I chose from.
I chose this veneer because it is from the same piece of Brazilian RW that he used in my Pinyon 5+ years ago (right).
