So many suggestions to use jigs and various powers tools. I’m surprised. Nothing wrong with doing that, but for such a small job, just go at it with hand plane in the vice. 10 minutes later job done. Why over complicate it.
As Ian said, all you need to do is scribe a line down the length of it and plane till you meet the line. Your only planing 15mm off - it would take twice as long to build a jig or even setup your <insert machine here>.
And as a bonus you’re improving your hand tool skills!

that was my first thought when I read your description and later started to draw what you had described, then
1. I was concerned that the feed rollers / cutter head might tip the sled as they would only be applying pressure to one long edge of the work piece. Maybe not an issue with weatherboards, but could be the difference between success and failure with a box lid. So
2. I added a rail either side of the sled to keep the pressure from the cutter head / feed rollers uniform across the sled.
3. having added the rails, I decided that each rail might as well also act as a fence to hold the work piece in place -- saves faffing around with alignment lines, careful placement of the work piece and hot melt glue. (I'm guessing that Dengy's work piece is already very close to final width.)
4. I standardised on sticks 20 mm thick (this width could be 15 or 30 mm). If the sticks forming the feet and fences are the same width then there is minimal measuring required when building the jig.
5. the jig can be run through the thicky a few times to angle the feet and fences and check that the resulting slope is what is wanted, before the work piece is run through. This has the added benefit of replacing the sawn edge of a height block with a wider contact area.
However, I'd guess by now that Dengy has tapered his piece
It would be interesting to know how he got on.regards from Alberta, Canada

Fair point. I say just do whatever gets you in the workshop making shavings.

Yeah, I love using the Stanley's I inherited from Dad but having an implanted defibrillator / pacemaker means that I have to be cautious about potentially injuring the defib site. Already had one infected defib site and a complete extraction so not going there again with MKII. Nothing like the sound of a nice sharp plane iron slicing through timber.Mobyturns

Success !!
Well, after a 6 month break due to illness and a 4 week holiday in SE QLD, I am back in the shed. YESSSS!!!!!
My first job was to cut the 300 x 150 x 25mm board on edge, ( I redesigned the workpiece during my layup) and I used the bandsaw as recommended in the very 2nd post above by Chrism3, set to 9.5degrees slope on the table, and it turned out perfectly. Have been sweating on this for ages, turned out a lot better than expected, and quick too.
Many thanks to everyone for their ideas and suggestions and great jigsregards,
Dengy
