 Veneer Saw 
This type of
veneer saw has always been a popular tool for veneer cutting. It is
primarily used for roughing out and cutting through many layers of veneer
at a time, although it can be used for fine precision straight cuts on
individual layers of veneer. For this finer use of the veneer saw, it
needs to be sharpened properly. The blade should be removed from the
handle, and held firmly in a saw vise, clamped close to the teeth. Using a
small fine knife edge triangular file held 90 degrees to the blade and
canted at the same angle as the teeth, start sharpening the teeth from the
front of the saw, moving toward the back teeth. Usually two light pushes
with the file held steadily in the hand will be enough. After this is
complete, the saw teeth need to be beveled to a point with a fine flat
file. This is accomplished by securing the blade on the edge of a
workbench, and flat angle filing the teeth to a point, filing on the
handle side of the blade. The angle of the flat file should be about 15 to
25 degrees. Care must be taken to file the saw teeth only to a sharp point
and no further. Filing too much will create a flat top on the point of the
tooth, and the saw will not cut properly. After this flat filing is done,
remove the burr on the saw back that rides against the straight edge with
a 1000 grit waterstone, wipe the water off, oil the blade, and the saw is
ready for use. (Schürch
