: Didn't CLC start to develop a "step scarf"? I haven't heard
: anything about it lately. They cut all the scarfs like steps, rather than
: a ramp. It was self-indexing, and easy to cut with their CNC machine, but
: I imagine it would be rather difficult for the homebuilder to do. You

IIRC, they use the step scarf only on their larger boats that are made out of thicker plywood. I don't think they can do step scarfs in 4mm Okoume.
