Live Edge Cherry Wood Table

[kaizoku0506]

I got ahold of a beautiful slab of live-edge cherry a few weeks back. The piece is 5' x 2' x 2.25". Ideally, I'd like to resaw it into two bookmatched pieces that I can join to make a trestle kitchen table. The hard part here is finding a band saw large enough. One option would be to cut it into ~8" segments first, resaw each segment, and then reassemble (might be less prone to warping too).

Alternatively, I may skip resawing it and turn it into a coffee table instead.

Either way, I want to do a trestle base like this:
Or this for a coffee table:


Here's the slab itself:
