I have a piece of red oak that is 60" x 4" x 1/4". I want to steam
this and bend it. I have no problem doing that . Where I would like to
get some help is with making a scarf to join the 2 ends after the wood
is bent. Obviously I have to cut each end independantly but how do I
make the cuts so they will form a perfect joint?
Thanks for any and all help.


Can you clarify - are you wanting to join the ends to each other to form a
cylinder or hoop?

Thanks for the reply.
Yes, I want to bend it to make a drum.
