I’m asking because I read somewhere that it is easier to glue the veneer segments directly on to the adjacent ring, one at a time (with the segments flush to one another of course). Then I read about just cutting a veneer disc with a sharp scissors and calling it a day. I didn’t think the end grain/side grain would be an issue with something so thin….
Depends on how thick the veneer is - with standard 1/40" or thinner veneer you are correct that end grain woould not be an issue. But the advantage of building segmented rings is that you don't have to depend on finding extra-wide veneer.
