I have been told you can cut veneer on a band saw.

First; can you?

Yes.


Would you cut it with the thin slice between the blade and the fence

Yes.

or
would the slice be on the open side of the blade. ie the block between
the blade and fence.

With this method, you'd need to readjust the fence on each cut and
the veneers will not be uniform in thickness.

A woodslicer blade from Highland Hardware works well for this application.
