Yeah I know, I tried the more subtle approach, "let me try this without a
band saw, of course a band saw would make it much safer...;^)"

Truthfully speaking, as much as I'd like some more big electric tools, I
still need to tear down the existing shack that I'm using and then build the
real workshop before I start thinking of new iron.

You're not maximizing your opportunities. The correct procedure is: Turn
to
wife and say, "This is a great piece of wood, but it wouldn't be safe to
cut
it on the table saw. I'm going to have to get a band saw as a safety
measure. You wouldn't want me to lose a finger in the table saw, would
you?".

I cut down a juniper tree yesterday. Mainly for firewood but I did cut a
couple of pieces of the trunk into longer pieces thinking to slice em up
and
try to make something out of them.

Anyone know what I can expect from juniper wood for use in woodworking?

I already know that it makes for fine firewood.

Is there any reason why I can't do the rough resawing on a table saw,
mainly
cleaning off the bark and attempting to square the trunk off/

I don't own a bandsaw yet.
