Yes. I saw several V-Cut pieces around and I believe you have some. A
small Cedar cut in a V would make interesting rain gutters though I am not
sure they would be workable for a rain harvesting system.

Same as using a bandsaw for resawing. A good resaw blade is at least an
inch wide and wider is better. I have always wanted an old Oliver bandsaw
for resawing.
