Hej Paul,
Tom Fidgen (‘The Unplugged Workshop’) has a YouTube series on what he calls a kerfing-plane, which in one version is like a plough plane with a saw blade. It is used to create an initial saw kerf all around the stuff that is to be resawn. The associated frame saw will follow along the kerf created, as that is associated with the lowest resistance.
Albeit an extensive project, once made resawing becomes a lot easier. Saw blades to the plane and frame saw can probably be ordered from Thomas Flinn-Garlick. They also have the nuts necessary.
For $275 a complete kit for both the kerfing plane and saw can be ordered from Bad Axe Toolworks (a bit rich perhaps).
