My particular version of this is that the veneer is not set on its side so that what meets the pin is side-grain. My veneer (1/8" maple, not 1/28") is crosscut into strips the width of my favorite file (maybe 3/16"). Instead of cutting a kerf with a hacksaw lade (as pictured, right?), I cut a channel with the side of my file, bearing as you do against a BR pin to properly locate the edge of the shim. What my maple strips present to the BR pin is end-grain, which is a much more durable grain orientation. I consider this the functional equivalent of new BR holes in fresh = inlaid wood.
