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.
