Greetings, I bought a 2cherries veneer saw and when I make a cut it makes a clean cut edge on one side of the kerf and a crappy ragged edge on the offcut side. Is this normal? Will I have to allow additional material to turn and re-cut the other edge? I was intending to do a waterfall wrapped box and do not want to lose material. I am new to the veneer world.

I have the same saw and that is not normal. Some veneers will tear more than others if you are at an angle to the grain. I would start by resharpening the saw then use multiple slow cuts. I can use both sides of my cuts when I do this
