Second the recommendation of the jig saw. Also, the blades you use make
an enormous
difference. I've been vry impressed with Bosch's new line of Xtra Clean
For Wood blades
(T308B). Here's a review:

I have seen these blades, have you used Bosh blades in the past? Do these
cut cleaner than the older Bosch styles? I only use Bosch blades and pretty
much get a burnished smooth surface on hard woods using the regular Bosch
blades, fine cut, with a Milwaukee jig saw. I get a "little" tear out on
the top side when cross cutting Oak veneer plywood.
