Default Oak or ash band saw curves more easily?

Use pattern bit and the template from one side. Flip the piece over and use
a bit with the bearing on the end to fallow the first cut.

Yeah, but my pattern bit is 2" and the rail is 2.5". I thought about
having it way out of the collet for the first pass, but that doesn't seem
particularly safe. I also thought about reducing the rail to 2".
