with a fairly thick veneer like this it's easy enough to hold it with
one hand while scraping with the other, if you want to smooth it a bit
before gluing it down. as long as your bandsaw is tuned up well enough
that you are getting reasonably consistent thickness slices it
shouldn't be a problem to smooth them after glue up.
