Deteresa don't you do veneer thinning with that plane? I still can't get things sharp enough so I used a variation of Bananasan's benchhook above. It's been the best measure, as both the veneer and the boundary are the same thickness. Scraped rather than planed as the veneer rocks in the slot and becomes too thin at the ends, so I tape it at one end! I tried a slot too. This seems a little bit easier, though none of it is really satisfactory. Yes I use the same plane and I also use a scraper when the strips get closer to thickness. A light bulb went off for me when Gimar Yestra's posted his jig for for thinning rosette strips so I basically copied it. Also usable for bindings. http://andyculpepperguitars.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/img_2891.jpg Bench hooks are great too, I have a shooting board like that and a cutting board with saw slots for chopping braces, etc.
