You can use the saw to create veneer, to re-saw a board to get two thinner, matching panels, and to reset the edge of an uneven piece of wood. You can also use this type of saw to cut shaped legs and arms, and round tabletops.
Most notably, a band saw doesn't have to be used to cut wood. Some styles are designed to cut through metal, for example. You can also swap out the blade on a woodworking saw with a blade designed to cut easily into metal.
