Default How to cut 1cm off end of Ikea wooden blinds

I've bought a wooden blind from Ikea which is marginally too wide at
the bottom of the kitchen window as I forgot about the tiles we'd
fitted!

To trim it by approx 1cm on each side can I simply stick them together
using tape and cut using a hand saw?

Ikea have a gadget for trimming aluminium blinds but not wooden which
are about 1-2mm thick.


I did the same thing but used a jig saw which my brother in law had used
before me on the same thing. The results in both cases was perfect. Not too
sure about a hand saw though, unless you can saw very straight and neat.
