: Thanks Paul for your suggestions. I thought I would plane down from 1/4"
: to 3/16". I like your idea of the scarf joint, too. Thanks again.
: BTW, my apologies to the forum for the double post. My thanks to Shawn for
: his response, also.

If you are goingto plane them down , I wonder if doing the scarf first would result in a uniform thickness after planeing. I've been using butt joints with square edges but the next boat is going to be scarf joint with bead&cove.
