- If contrasting layers of veneer are held together and sawn as one, with either a Fretsaw or Scroll Saw, the cut is fine enough to enable both shapes and recesses to accept them, to be cut together thus ensuring accuracy.
- Pieces of veneer can be inserted completely or partially into a tray of hot Silver Sand to create the graduated shading effect as seen on the butterfly's wings.
Safety Point! Craft knives must be used only with adult supervision. Avoid applying too much pressure and cut through a sheet of material with a series of lighter strokes rather than trying to get through in one go.
