If you can get a hand operated fret saw such as:

And hold it at a 13* degree angle-either right or left and stack your veneer on top of each other to cut through the whole stack at once-as in your background piece and another -they will fit perfectly inside one another and leave a crisp edge. It takes a little practice but you will get the hang of it pretty fast. It is fun to do and can become quite elaborate in detail.
Have fun!
What are the problems with using the laser?
When i work with laser machine , i find difficulties
how can i cut veneer paper for complicated designs, when it starts cutting the veneer seems to bending,even if i cut how can i remove all the design cut veneer to sticking in other laminates,i dont know the procedure , leading to damage of the veneer
Please give valuable ideas
Have you thought of making a sandwich? Solid wood, plywood or fiber board above and below the laminate and then cut it?
Sorry i have no idea about marquetry work so i can't help you but i am found this website in Google and hope this will be helpful for you.

Sounds like the veneer is being affected by the heat from the laser.Quote:
