Keep in mind, many dowels used for joining have their surfaces altered to allow glue and such. As such, a rougher dowel would, rather than be a problem, be beneficial for such uses.
As to flexing of the bandsaw blade, that is not a problem with even a 1/4" blade, and especially not with a 1" blade.
Try a Net search using the terms "using a bandsaw to make dowels," or variations of that. You'll get many hits. Examples of search hits are below. The first one is the method I used.
