Not sure if the ones in the picture are fully cut (just re-checked based on table saw measurements in the photo, and those are the finished slats, they weren't ripped any thinner than that), but we cut 1 in thick slats twice, into 3 equal thicknesses, a little over 1/4 inch, as the saw cuts off some. Watched a few videos on ripping wood, some guys are amazing at it, can get long boards incredibly thin. These are as long as I ripped, and we had a "wood pusher", a long wooden block with a notch to fit onto the wood you're sliding through, and a long handle - to keep my body far far away from the blade. Having someone on the other side to receive it made the whole job easier, along with our pusher.
Here's one of the videos we found, lol, those pieces look super-thin
