Greetings,
Mike was kind enough to sell me some really nice Olive “cookies”. Some of them are pretty thick and I’d like to have them sliced in half similar to resawing a board Does anyone know someone that could do this for me? Lumbercycle?
Thanks ahead for any suggestions!
Best
Perry
Do you have any friends at the SDFWA Shop?
There’s a bandsaw setup for just this type of situation.
If I was going to be in SD then I’d help out but I’m not back till April.
I have to have friends Travis? I’m in trouble then! 
Do you know offhand what the gap height is for the shop’s saw?

April???
How do you resaw a round “cookie” on a bandsaw? How would you hold it?

Cutting copper cookies with an v-block isn’t re-sawing.
I’m woodworking, crossgrain circles cut from a log are known as cookies. Certainly you know this… They would be VERY difficult to resaw. Here’s a link to a picture of some bite-sized wooden cookies:
Bon appétit!
My only point was the V-block to prevent rotation and the tube was just a handy prop. Attaching a support block behind the cookie with tape and CA glue could be used to further secure it. I’ve seen this done to a bowl base in a chuck on a lathe.
I was just having fun with Travis. I was not disparaging your project. Sorry if I offended.
