Fretsaw. Finer and quick to turn. Sandwich between ply to prevent chipping
out. For one-offs, knife should do, however.

Use a board for support.

Thanks to all for your replys. I was hoping it would be a simple

glue/resaw
process. Don't really wwant to learn a new skill. Quite overwhelmed by

the
irons I have in the fire already. sigh

Hi Mike,

You can do this. Just take 3 or 4 sheets of 1/16" veneer, stack them
and secure them along the faces with double stick tape. Then cut the
entire stack more or less randomly with a small saw (a coping saw with
a very fine blade would work).

Separate the sheets, reassemble the pieces from the different sheets,
and glue down the pieces on a small piece of thin MDF, etc. If you
wanted to get fancy, you could fill in the voids with colored epoxy
and then sand it flat.
