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.

Cut the joint before bending. *Rough cut the two pieces by
whatever works. *Clamp them together and plane them
at the same time. *Glue up solid, then bend.

how would you glue the scarf joint on the 2 ends of the same stick without
bending it first?

Use more than one stick for each ply?
