Absolute best would be a jig on a table saw, but >>1079334 is the anon to listen to. Personally, I'd use a handsaw and then a plane to touch it up if need be, and I'd be done about two minutes after you would with the circular saw.

This.
I already have a tapering jig. Just two 2x2's with a hinge on one end. and a slotted board with a bolt and a wingnut.

But if I didn't already have that, I'd do this:

Before you do any of this shit, mirror the line so you aren't cutting through a knot

Take a scrap board and nail it square off of your line and run it through a table saw. Obviously the scrap board is the edge against the fence.

Or git gud.

I'm pretty sure op can take the knot without any struggle

this. Normally the guard is an inch and a half on one side.

It would take something elaborate for me to want to slide that through a tablesaw.

>Not sure if woodworking comment, or dog porn joke

Stop being a bitch and just cut it. Circular saw, track saw, band saw, jig saw, Japanese saw, your teeth, train a beaver, who gives a fuck. It looks like a 1' piece of 1x6 so even if you do fuck it up beyond all repair, just go get another piece. 6' of 1x6 is like 8 bucks. 6 feet = 6 tries to get it right.

there might be some resistance, but you just have to keep pushing through it
