Scarf joint

Needed 510cm lumber for the clamps. Had only 450cm at hand so the time came for my 1st scarf joint in my boat building career. First I marked the lines for 1:8 slope, then stacked the pieces, tightened together with long wood screws, chiseled the corners before starting planing, then a huge work with electric plane, finished with belt sander. I do not clame this is a perfect scarf joint but hopefully it holds well when installed.
