Well, I am working on the 2 jewelry chests today and adding the Tiger Maple veneer to the maple drawer fronts, 24 of'um. Because the veneer strips are
1/8" wider than 3 of the drawers, stacked, I needed to be able to cut the veneer with little waste for the veneer to get all 6 drawers. The veneer is long enough to handle the length of 2 drawers. Basically each sheet of veneer will cover 6 of the small drawers. Clear? ;~)Anyway, in the past I have used a utility knife to cut the veneer, that works OK. Today I am using on of the rotary cutters that my wife cuts quilt fabric with. Along with a straight edge, another quilters tool, this works great with no waste or tear out. For cutting with the grain a single pass does the trick, cross cutting requires two passes.
I have seen the rotary cutters offered at a few veneer supply sites but was a bit skeptical. If any of you are veneering and have not tried the rotary cutter I highly recommend it.
