Bill,

Sorry I was not very precise in my concern.
I am not worried about the scarf joint, agree with you there.
But the natural curvature of the less stiff RWC and the stiffer Spanish Cedar "might" cause the WRC to curve more between the two frames where the scarf falls. Now that I write that it seems pretty silly/ excessive concern, maybe it would be OK.
The only way to know is a test I guess. Just what I am always suggesting to others.

Thanks to everyone for the suggestion.
