You could try starting with Ipe flooring, comes in 1/2" and 3/4" thick,
4"-12" wide and 8'-20' lengths, pre-finished or unfinished, T&G or
straight 90deg edges. Purchase an 2' long, 10" wide, 1/2" thick,
unfinished, straight 90deg edge piece of Ipe flooring. Trim Ends. Route
and finish edges. Commonly available and usually less expensive per board
foot than Ipe boards of similar size.

It's far more difficult on a ts than bs (of adequate capacity which any
good shop will have). 9" resawing is beyond the reach of a 10" ts.

Really? I haven't had a problem with it. Just flip the stock. I do it all
the time. Much quicker, no issue with blade tracking.

Powermatic Model 66 Table Saw Model: 66 specs Blade Diameter (in): 10
Arbor Diameter (in): 5/8 Max. Depth of Cut (in): 3-1/8 (in).
For a 9" piece that leaves you w/ 2" in the middle you now have to do
with something else (like a bandsaw, maybe? :) ).
W/ a decent bandsaw and a resaw blade, blade drift is no issue.
Post this question on rec.woodworking and I'd bet the bandsaw would be
the choice 10:1.

<blush> Of course you're right. For some reason, I kept thinking 6" instead
of 9" for the rip. It was one of those kinda evenings.
