The veneer saw is a small double-edged tool for cutting thin hardwood veneer. Its narrow curved blade facilitates precision work, and its elevated offset handle makes it possible to cut flush with a surface. The blade is usually 3 or 4 inches long and it has 13 tpi (teeth per inch).

A similarly shaped tool, known as a French flush-cut saw is designed for trimming the ends of dowels, tenons, and other protusions flush with a surface. Like the veneer saw, it has a double-edged blade. The blade usually has 11 tpi on one side, and 20 tpi on the other side. The blade is approximately 6 inches long, and in order to avoid marring the surface, the saw teeth are angled slightly upward.
