Here's the short version of my process:
Stock through the thickness planer
Cut the stock to length
Rip the strips for glue up
Glue
(sometimes I take the strips and run the face (the gluing surface) against the blade of the table saw and take off like 1/64)
Other than that I am at a loss
Help?
Since you have pieces of varying widths I'd saw cut down that single joint, then plane each adjacent glue side side & re-glue. You can individually place each board section on edge & plane the edge. However, when the board gets to be too tall it would be better to place scrap boards of equal height & plane them all together. Using the additional side boards will add stability when planing. However, the bottom sections of the cutting board should be flat & square to the face of the cutting boards before planing, otherwise the glue face may not mate properly during glue-up & the resulting cutting board may still show an open joint line if things aren't square.
