Cover your butt with a scarf at my joint ! *Pic*

In Response To: Re: more on scarph joints (dave)

Seems the use of terms like "butt joint" and "scarf joint" can be confused when the discussion varies between edge-joining panels of plywood, and end-joining strips of thin wood. Perhaps this illustration will start to show how these joints, which share the same names, are quite different.

Hope this helps
