I would imagine that some of the hardwoods will really make that steam engine do some serious work. That's got to take some power and a razor sharp blade to cut the veneer off the full width of the blank.
I tried a pc. of White Oak. It actually worked pretty good, but the driver lugs stripped out of the ends of the log & started to slip. Softwoods work the best. The blade is razor sharp.
 
If you would be willing to share the file I have Autocad and Solidworks. My email address is [email protected]
Thanks,
George
