Yep multiple ways to skin a cat.

To answer the original question I think we agree NO 'jig' needed.

That is for certain. I was just indicating how I would do it.

Gave this a bit more 'thought'.

If no(very minimal) material is removed by the operation(band saw, saw, conical disk), from the reference 'edge'(bottom tilt left/top tilt right) the second pass will result in very almost identical results on both bevels.

Requires only the rip fence(and a light touch second pass). Actually starting with a board slight 'taller' than desired, will remove the need for a light touch since the 'excess' height can then be sawed(?) off the wide side.
