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?


What kind of tools do your friends have? If you were my neighbor, I'd
rip some boards for you for a beer.


I rip farts for free.
