If your bandsaw will accept a wider blade it will work much better. I don't think you can do a very good job with a 3/8", but I don't know for sure. My big bandsaw will take a 3/4" blade and that is what I use for resawing. For 4" or 6" wood you'll want as few TPI as possible. I use a 3 TPI because it is cheaper, but you'd get a cleaner straighter cut with 1 1/2 or 2 if you can find it. Make sure your guides are adjusted correctly and you have the right tension for the blade you're using and you should be fine. Resawing is slow, but sometimes it's the only way to get what you want. If you have pieces longer than 4 feet or so you might be able to find someone with a band saw mill who could cut it for you. It's a lot quicker, but it takes a bit more of a kerf. We bought a Turner a couple of years ago and have really liked having a way to make our own lumber. I hope that is helpful. Zach
