Too many power tool junkies here.. I personally prefer a bandsaw myself, and I've often used a tablesaw (before I had a good bandsaw) to resaw. While a bandsaw is easier, you can resaw small pieces of hardwood quite easily by hand. It's a bit more work, but for short pieces it's pretty easy.
I will have to do a little searching (or maybe someone will beat me to it) but there are a couple of good articles on this process. You can use a specifically made type handsaw or just a good western or japanese handsaw to do it. The article I am thinking about goes into how to make one of these -- cost is minimal also.
