Default "Ripping" 1x6 fence pickets

I need to finish off my wood fence at the edges and cornes, where I
cannot use a normal 1x6 picket because it's less than 6" in width.

I would need to rip about half a dozen pieces of 6' tall pickets in
varying widths.

I went to the big borg store thinking they could do it for me but no
ripping and nothing less than 12". So I have to do it myself.

I don't have a table saw nor a jig saw. I have a compound miter saw,
a recipricating saw, and an angle grinder. I don't have a circular
saw either. Which tool I have is the easiest? I am thinking to use
the recipricating saw but the cut won't be clean and smooth?

No buds with a table saw or radial arm saw? You can get a cheap Skill
circular saw for maybe $39. You would have to temporairly fasten the
picket to something while cutting it and use a board as a jig if you want
it really really straight like a table saw.
