fryovanni Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 I want to install an ebony headstock overlay that is 1/8" thick. What is the best way to remove 1/8" from the front of the headstock? A hand plane is good, a jointer can do the job, a flat sanding block. Out of curiosity, why 1/8"? Are you going for a look on the side of the headstock? If not, you could use a thinner veneer, and have to remove less material(easier to thin a veneer than a headstock). Good luck, Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck, Rich Yeah, I usually just use veneer but the idea is to bevel the edges of the headstock without cutting into the maple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
