I have been having problems getting a straight edge on my QSWO veneer in order to butt match sheets. I have not had a chance to build the router jig but I did find an alternate method that might help some others.
I took 4 sheets of veneer and taped then together then I taped them to the face of a maple board, lining the veneer up with the bottom of the board. Then I ran the whole thing across the jointer with the infeed table set at 1/32". Then I untaped the veneer from the board and flipped the stack of veneer over so as to trim the other edges. I sanwiched the veneer between the board and the fence to get a flat as possible edge. It worked surprisingly well.
The veneer I was triming was 6.5" x 30". I know my jointer blades are not all that sharp, so I imagine that with sharp blades and maybe some finger boards to keep everything tight to the fence, you could get a real sweet edge. As it was my edges came out well enough to glue 3 pieces on each substrate to make up two panels.
Hope this helps.
