have two open-face pinblocks coming up in my shop - a Knabe and a Bechstein. 
I hadn't decided quite how to re-do the pinblocks. I was thinking that I might 
pop the top veneer off, plug with high-quality plugs set in epoxy, and then 
put a new veneer on the top. Anyone care to argue one way or another regarding 
time required to do this compared to a complete new block and regarding the 
quality of the final outcome? Thanks

            Hey Terry
   I've only done one of these & if I were doing it again I'd plug it again. 
I don't beleive it's possible for me  to duplicate all that case mortising 
without compromising all that original structural integrity , nor do I want to. 
Besides plugging is fairly painless once you get set up & with good maple plugs 
 feels  like, well.... A good maple block
