Well I never recommend anyone doing things the way I do, but I don't have a problem showing my methods off. This weekend I dug out a mahogany board from the 1960's that my dad bought for a boat project. It was a couple of metres long, tapered from 300 to 400 mm in width and was only 15 mm thick. My bandsaw was never gonna make it so I cut it with a frame saw. The trick is the first step, cutting a slot with a tool called the kerfing plane. Both that and the frame saw are the designs of Tom Fidgen, and the blades come from Bad Axe toolworks.
I'll put a link to a blog post, but also a couple of pics here.
