: I don't have a band saw that would make a smooth enough cut to use as it
: comes off the saw, but a few strokes with a plane would fix that.

: That's really the point, since most of the parts I would scarf for a boat
: would be bent in some manner.

Obviously most boat parts are bent. Those scarfed 8:1 work well too, if there is a difference I've not seen it. The point really of a longer scarf is to add glue area. I've not had a failure with an 8:1 scarf so see no reason, for me anyway, to waste more wood.
