OK, I believe you. But do you still say you can do all this, now that
the OP has told us that the wood is ipe? That stuff is harder than hell.

If the answer is "yes", then you must have one finely-tuned bandsaw, and
I congratulate you on that.

I've not cut Ipe, but I have cut Brazilian Cherry. Very slow feeding. I
cut some down to 1/4" thick trim.

You have to take an hour or two to get the saw properly set up and you need
a good sharp blade. The one I use for re-sawing is used just for that
purpose. I also had a good teacher.

It's Ipe wood and it's for a decorative plaque. The finished plaque needs
to measure 8.5"h x 17"w x 1/2"d (my original post said 3/4"). The only Ipe
I have found online that accomodates those dimensions is 9"h x 2"d, which
is way too thick. The finish has to be pristine being that it's
decorative.
