You may need to add a true piece of wood to the edge, where the fence rides, depending on the lumber you started with and the final shape of the table. I started off without putting too much thought into the orientation of the table, so I ended up with a rough edge.

I found a flat piece of wood of the appropriate thickness, a bit of 1/4" plywood, and some glue. After it was firmly glued into place, I realized that the edge was a good straight board but the edges were not parallel. I was able to correct for it later because the fence need only be true to the blade, not the end of the table.
