If there is one thing this thread proves, it’s that a picture is worth 1,000 words. Obviously, there are many ways to interpret Ken’s question.

I took it the same was as Lee, meaning that his best bet is to rip his board to relative straightness on the table saw before bringing it to the jointer. You can buy jigs for holding the board, or you can easily make your own.
