Follow Cam 18 for scarfing. If done properly it shouldn't matter, however ifyou can plan ahead and scarf in different bays it would certainly be better.And better disptribute the extra weight.Dom. ----------________________________________________________________________________________

Hi guysI am getting my fuse woodwork done (slowly and have come up against asnag. None of my 1" square stock (about 10 pieces 16' long) will give me aperfect longeron, meaning I need to scarf them to get rid of "bad" sections.has anyone run the nubers on the best layout for the joints- should the beall in the same bay, or staggered so none line up ? and best position forthem- front, middle or rear of the fuse?The wood is 12-16 gpi, straight grain spruce, but has quite a few "red"knots (1/8" to dime size). there is little to no grain runout due to theknots, but I'd rather get rid of them.Mike________________________________________________________________________________
