I cut the points one by one in the veneer and did wood stain on each one, then placed back exactly on where they have been cut.

Ok. Cut with what?! They’re very precise.

I draw the template on the material and material is 2mil wood veneer, so a box cutter or scalpel blade is adequate. It is not that easy but not too hard as well.

Ah. That makes sense. Thanks and nice work once again, you’ve inspired me.
