Veneering with contact cement works fine until you have the phone call from three out of five customers that tell you the veneer is wrinkling. If you resaw your own pieces you can make them 1/8" thick and glue them with a million clamps and 1x6 pieces for even pressure, then sand away without worrying about sanding thru.... or build a make shift press and use titebond glue... but I highly recommend staying away from contact cement, it cost me alot of money and I always snarl at the sales rep who told me alot of guys use it and have no problems.
For backed veneers (paper), solvent based contact cement is recommended by the manufacturers for interior use. Heat will delaminate contact cement. On all wood veneers I would use a urea formaldehyde glue, like Unibond 800, or Plastic Resin Glue, which provide a rigid bond and is waterproof.
