How do you cut that angle with a manual miter saw?

[@whittlingwillowbee]

The diagonal cut was done with a bandsaw, with one long edge down and one long edge up. I'm sure that there is a better, and more accurate way to make this cut, but my silly way has worked so far. It could also be done by hand, but I don't have a wood vise to keep it still.

Dimensions?

[@whittlingwillowbee]

Gnome starting blank dimensions are 1.5 x 1.5 x 3.5 inches (4 x 4 x 8 cm).
2 gnome blanks are cut from a 1.5 x 1.5 x 5 inch (4 x 4 x 12 cm) basswood block. This block is set on one of its long edges, and cut diagonally 1.5 inches (4 cm) from the bottom to 1.5 inches (4 cm) from the top.
