I'd like to get some feedback on good choices for a BS blade to do some curved cutting through hardwood up to 8/4 thickness, but here is the catch: i'd like for the blade to have no, or very minimal kerf, so it leaves the wood as smooth as possible so that I can do minimal clean-up sanding and piece it back together for a glue up with a tight joint.
See the picture below for an example of what i'd like to accomplish. I did some cutting boards where you stack them, make some curved cuts, then swap pieces between the two to get a contrasting effect. When I did this cherry and maple board, the curve cuts were really clean/smooth. I placed in a very thin (1/16th?) strip between the cuts and it jointed incredibly tight. Problem is, It wasn't my BS and I forget what blade was on it. Any suggestions appreciated.
