saw the kerf for the veneer. It doesn't take much and the hole winds up
being the exact size you want.

rental. The balance rail holes are ugly. Lots of missing wood. Some keys are
really loose. Center punching around the hole? What size, shape tip? How
close to the hole? How deep? Then glue size?

and back? I think I could make a cut with my drywall knife that would be
wide enough for the veneer edging I have. Would I then just size the hole or
drill it out?
