Some other pics, this was after cleaning up a little with the chisel too. I was aiming for about 2-2.5 degrees. Would be nice to have something better right off the saw (or other method).
Anyone have any great methods for making wedges? Mine turned out just okay

Good Question

What did you use? I'd use a table saw with an angle and cut along a piece of wood, then chop them up with a miter saw.

A table saw sled like this works well for me. https://youtu.be/0JTSxRnAJtA

Are you trying to achieve clean consistency (so you can stack and glue them as part of a finished product)?
If so, I think your best bet would be a sliding jig on the table saw.

If you don't care about species you can buy a big bundle of several dozen shims from the hardware store. If you're doing nice wedged tenons in furniture... yeah - good question.

Do you have a table or band saw? The miter guage, set to half the desired angle, would work well. Flip the stock with each cut.
