Let's talk about shadowing veneers

I have Traci's Blondies:

And I'm trying to figure out how to shadow them. What do you think the depth would be IRL? I've been searching paper galleries to try and figure out how to mimic it, but I can't really figure out what my shadow settings should be.
Here's a paper example {arrow & arrow cut out}

I'm going to look for some more IRL veneer, but if we could go ahead and get the discussion started, that'd be great.

PS You're not allowed to say, "I use X shadow settings for veneer" without showing your page with them. : )

I'd treat them like lil wood pieces and do a similar shadow to a button. But that's just me. :)

Bad CT member that I am I haven't used the blondies yet... but give me a minute and I can make you a little example with some.

and in case you can't read the shadow box...
I use a distance of 14 and a size of 9
