If the edge is really nasty I'll just take a couple passes at the jointer, get it good enough to run through the TS. Rip the opposite side, then bring in the fence a bit and run the first edge. However on my TS I just can't get a clean enough edge for a perfect glue line, so it will then go right back to the jointer again. I don't usually have to go through all that with the s2s hardwoods, but the rough cedar I get is nasty. Rarely do I deal with anything longer than 4'.
And I am NOT messing with those trunions again, you hear me? Every time I do it's just 6 hours of cursing to get it back to where it was before I started. Someday I'll get a cabinet saw, until then it is what it is.
