Tackled the missing veneer last night/tonight.  This was one of the parts I was most dreading, but ended up not being bad at all.  I think it turned out pretty well for being my first rodeo.  The veneering tutorial in the Philco Library was quite helpful!

Now...just need to wait for a warm and dry stretch so I can get this thing outside and get it stripped!
