Which blade to resaw green wood?

I have a Grizzly 14" G0555 bandsaw with a riser kit. I primarily just use
it for resawing.
I have been using the 105" Woodslicer blade which performs OK.
Unfortunately, I tried resawing some green logs today and the blade had
lots of problems with binding and warping. I assume the blade is toast now.
After the fact, of course, I read that Woodslicer is specifically NOT
recommended for sawing green lumber. Ooops. Live and learn.
I've also read that I shouldn't use a blade thicker than .025" on a 14"
bandsaw. The blades I've seen for green lumber are all thicker than that.
Are there any bandsaw blades you would recommend for resawing green lumber?
Thanks,
Anthony
I have the same saw setup and mainly use it to cut bowl blanks from
green wood. I use timberwolf blades 3 tpi but not sure what hook
angle. Recommend you call suffolk machinery who sell them and they
will know what you need. They are very helpful and knowledgeable.
