Noob question! The side of my porch slopes downward. I’m replacing my old porch skirting and the old panels had a long angled piece that sat above the trim in order to make the trim level.

I’m cutting an angled line into a 1x3. It will be a 1.5” slope over the length of 7ft. What’s the best way to make such a long angled cut in a narrow board? A table saw seems like it would be unsafe; a circular saw might be tough to cut on such a narrow board; maybe a jig saw?
