With the glues that we have today, like T-88, is scarfing really necessary? Would not just gluing on a cross member do just as well? I know that the woodworking purists will scoff at this, but T-88 won't come apart. If you were concerned about the contact area, you could put in a little wider cross member. I, personally, do not think that scarfing is any fun and find it most difficult to get a straight line.

Heath - Lexington, SC -------Original Message------- Yep, just scarf them. I made all my scarf joints come out to line up on one of the vertical pieces because it was a lot easier to handle them that way.
