What is the preferred method to make the long cuts? I was thinking a skill
saw for the rough cut then finding an 8 foot straight edge and cleaning
the
edge up with a router.

That works for me.

Anyone have an idea on who makes a ONE PIECE 8 foot straight edge?

Get an aluminum angle, 2"x2"x1/8"x96" and a couple of 3", C-Clamps.

Works for me, less than $20 USD, complete.

HTH
