Welcome to the Phorum!

I'm not the right guy to give you advice on the veneer issues although it looks like the problems are with both loose veneer and missing veneer.  For loose veneer on flat sections I've simply used wood glue worked in under the veneer with a syringe and a flat spatula followed by putting wax paper between a board and the loose veneer and then clamping.  Curved sections are harder and I have not done any of those but others on here may will surely have some thoughts.
Cheers,
Bob
