DIY Red Maple Branch Didge Advice

I have this maple branch that is fully dried out (at least 2 years indoor drying). It's a bit more than 5 feet long, width at top is just under 2", at the bottom 2.5". My immediate thought when seeing it was that I would eventually turn it into a didgeridoo. I've done other woodworking projects before, but this is definitely the most challenging. I'm tempted to get a 3" cordless bandsaw just for the long cut, but also read that splitting along the grain is another possibility. The knots will make that difficult though, right? I plan first to strip the bark. Will be a "no rush" project, but I'm determined to end up with a nice DIY didge at some point down the line. Any tips for how to get going? Thanks in advance!
