: I know that a scarf joint is two boards overlapping eachother, but what does
: the cut look like? Is it an angled cut (Z shape), or a half swastica?

When the boat is done it looks like just a small line like wood flooring. There is another scarf joint that is about a 1 1/2 inch diagonal line. I made myself a tiny miter box and it works great for cutting the scarfs. Scott E.
