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).

Good Question

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.

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.
