Anybody have any tips on how to turn a billet into archtop wedges. I've never done this to a billet with no milled edges so I'm curious as to everyone's favorite order of operations.

joint one edge

rip block in half on band saw

tilt band saw talble, rip off the two off cut wedges.

or

joint the edge then rip off the two wedges first and then rip it in half.

No mater how you looks at it, its 3 passes through the band saw. Unless of course you are ripping by hand.
