It's simple but effective and safer for smaller items like strips for gunnels and such. The wood piece is clamped to the taper  jig and slides along a fence to cut the scarf.

  So, do you end up dressing up both scarfed pieces with some other tool, or does the band saw give you glue-ready surfaces.?  Nice tip, btw.

No other tool needed. Just a little sanding to clean up the fuzzies and you are ready for glue.

Bill, 

A good simple way to cut the scarfs.  I assume your using a 1/2", 3 or 4 skip tooth blade, eh?

Dorf.

It's the 1/2 inch Wood Slicer blade from Highland Woodworking and is a variable 3-4 tpi. Good for re sawing too.
