    Jointing the face of Baltic Birch plywood

    This is a strange question but I would like to joint the face of a lamination of baltic birch plywood. I laminated 3 pieces together that is 4" wide to make a new crosscut sled. I do not want to joint the edges and will just use my table saw to get this straight. Even though I have carbide cutters I still don't want to put them through the baltic birch laminations.

    I did my absolute best in getting this lamination super flat but I do think it has an ever slight twist, and I mean real slight. I have a Hammer A3-31 with spiral cutterhead and was considering taking a super light pass across the jointer on the face of the lamination. Is this a terrible idea? I think I can get the pass across the jointer light enough that it will not go through the face veneer unless I'm miss judging how thick this veneer is on the Baltic Birch. Has anyone done such a thing and am I crazy for considering this?
