It took two tries but finally got a bending block cut that I'm happy with. Tried to cut in my band saw but it wanted nothing to do with cutting the 2x4 on end. I don't have a table saw so tried to make do with a skillsaw. First attemp was a good proof of concept but I needed to make some adjustments to keep the miter cut from getting all the way into the edge. I figure the angle doesn't need to be perfect but you do want the edge as straight as possible. Second attemp was better and strategically placed my cuts in a way that always allowed me to run the skillsaw on a flat edge. Then had to finish off the final cuts with a hand saw. I think it will do.
