Ray you are correct if you are doing the double bevel technique and cutting each piece in one at a time, but if you are doing packet cutting you cut all the pieces of veneer at once up to about 16 different species of veneer and just assemble them to together like a puzzle at 90 degrees were as the double bevel cut they are cut one at a time and fit together like a cork in a bottle due to the 8 degree angle. Lots of different techniques as everyone seems to have there preference. knife, packet, double bevel, coping saw, chevalet, laser, and so on. I think the packet cut is the easiest to learn especially for a scroller
