Yes; I recommend either a thick (which normally means large)
handsaw, or possibly an otherwise defunct two-man (or one man)
lumbering cross cut saw.

I have also had good results from older circular saw blades 6-8" in
diameter. The older ones are simply good steel, and are quite thick.
Blunt ones are cheap are yard sales etc. More modern ones have tipped
blades, and tend to have main bodies of less good steel.

To summarise the thread, I would recommend NOT attempting to create a
symmetrical cutter (as shown in the pictures).

I would create "half a cutter" and exploit the fact that a scratch stock
is fully reversible to create a perfectly symmetrical MOULDING by
working from both sides.
