I posted a thread called band saw tips a wek or two ago. Links to Highland Woodworking. They sell a blade called the woodslicer that is a good blade.  Also a good tutorial on tuning bandsaws.

I highly recomend the "Timber wolf" blades in 4 TPI

you can resharpen them when they get dull too.

I've also had great luck with Timberwolf blades.

The Lowes around here carry Bosch blades.  I get Olson blades at a small hardware store near me.

I like the Woodslicer blade for slicing laminations,I have not used it to ruff out a selfbow,But think it may have a short life as it has no set in the teeth. I do like the Timberwolfs. Highlands GP blade is also a good value for GP cutting.
