Howzabout, as an experiment, cutting it in half and coring out the inside? Run it through a bandsaw perpendicular to the face of the blade, use a 3/4" ball-nose router bit to core out the small loom and into the blades, smooth the cut surfaces with a plane or jointer, and glue them back together. You could even lay a little glass in that cored-out area before gluing it back together. Might be worth a try.

The width reach could be the problem with 1 to 1.
