Turn the table so the first side you want to taper is up. Clamp straight 2x's and shim stock, if needed, (you could also make a long box with a fence) to the face of the table. The last board would be your stop fence, against which a skill saw would run.
After looking at the photo, again, I noted the obvious: The sides arch, so this wouldn't work in this instance. Guess I'd just get my electric plane and belt sanders out and tackle it this way. Of course, I'd quickly become more fond of round-over edges at this point.
