I am making a chest with a top made of solid walnut glued on edge. Can't
recall, so I'm asking:

Do I run the second edge through the jointer after cutting, or is the table
saw edge good enough?

That depends on a lot of things:
a) how well you have your table saw tuned
b) how good a blade you have on the TS
c) how good your technique is on the TS
d) your personal tolerance for imperfection

Bottom line: if the table-sawn edge produces a joint that is close enough to
satisfy you, then you don't need to joint after ripping. If it leaves gaps in
the joint that you think are too big, then you need to joint.
