I have a piece of red oak that is 60" x 4" x 1/4". I want to steam

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?

Who said anything about "plies"?
