To make this bevel cut (18 degrees) on my table saw I need to run a 2" wide
piece of 3/4 oak down the length of my table saw. I will be making the cut
into the 2" face. I am really worried about kickback or other problems on
this cut. If I keep a feather board on the table saw pushing the board up
against the fence and another featherboard on the fence pushing the board
down on the table, do you think that will work? What do you think about
this cut? What can I do to maximize my safety as well as protect the wood
from being screwed up?

Use a splitter, one of these,

pushblocks that have a surface you don't care about), and possibly a
helper if the stock is very long.

Set the blade slightly higher than the wood, the pushblocks can run
right over the blade.

I greatly prefer this method over featherboards.
