I am trying to slice a 1"x8"x3' piece of walnut into a couple of
3/8"x8" boards. My bandsaw is a benchtop model that doesn't have a
wide enough opening. I tried to do this on my tablesaw by raising the
blade ad high as possible. It came close, and it was sorta awkward to
get an exact cut.

Any suggestions?

Are there any cabinet shops, or other woodworking shops in your area?
For a small fee, maybe even free for this amount of work, they could
perform this task for you.
