I have experience of lots of restoration techniques but I'd like a 'veneer expert' to help/reassure me here please. The lower rear corner of my Pye Fenman 2 has a shard of veneer missing, it's just one layer of the plywood actually. My thoughts are to make a straight, diagonal cut - 60 degrees at bottom, 30 degrees at top to remove the surrounding damaged edges of the chip and then fill it in with a slice of suitable veneer, grain matched, and then match up using wood dye and/or coloured lacquer with lacquer to finish obviously. Then flatten, cut back and buff.
