I am trying to slice a 1"x8"x3' piece of walnut into a couple of

blade ad high as possible. It came close, and it was sorta awkward to
get an exact cut.

Years ago I used to resaw by starting on the table saw, with cuts on
both sides as high as I was comfortable raising the blade, then go back
through the kerfs with a good old fashioned handsaw ... you have some
cleanup to do, with a plane, sander, but it is an effective, and safer
way on some table saws.


That's the way I did it.
Then run it through the plainer for thickness.
