Cutting a bat in half

I am wanting to use bats for the chair molding in my office.  Have any of you ever cut bats in half?  What kind of jig did you make?  I tried to cut one on my bandsaw and then ran it over the jointer, but I'm not happy with the way it came out.  Seems like the table saw would make a better cut, but I can't  figure  out how to run it straight through.  Any suggestions? See More

"That is how we started, and we still use our manual lathe. Just feels best doing it by hand."

"I'm about 40 min., and I use a roughing gouge and 1/2" spindle gougue along with a skew.  Probably if I got a 1" gouge I could be down to 2 tools, but I am too cheap to buy more until I grind these down."
