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.

I had to do that very thing today with some 10/4 stock for custom
corbels for a client's project, so I took some photos of the process:

~ Table Saw:

I had the band saw pulled out in the middle of the shop to rough cut the
corbels, but wanted a more precise thickness to match the corbels to the
trim without a lot of cleanup, so table saw it was.

The pieces were simply too short to safely resaw through on the table
saw in two passes, so I purposely left the middle strip for the hand saw
work.

~ Hand Saw:

Being short, a few strokes of a Shark and it was toast:
