I have a jig that sets the back end of the blank over 3/8" , and set the blade angle to 2 degrees making a compound angle . You can change the angle of the pattern easily by changing the blade angle a bit if you don't like the first results.

Then with the blank face down (grain you want) square the sides up.

When cutting the veneers off the blank, I change ends with blank each pass because if your bandsaw blade is not perfectly square with table, you will change the pattern in a few passes.

Nothing wrong with making two bows.
