I needed to resaw some thicker basswood boards. My bandsaw only has a 13" resaw capability so I needed to figure out something else. I thought I would try another method, I built a sled that fit over two bunks of my sawmill. Then I added a end cleat to keep the board from sliding off the end. I also added a cleat on the side to keep the board from moving when the blade cut into it. The chunk of wood on the top is a 4" thick chunk of cherry I had laying around to keep it from moving. It worked pretty well for resawing these boards. I have used a similar method to cut short logs with good results. I was hoping to include a video but my phone battery died.
