Default Scarf joint or butt joint your choice on crown molding?

The same amount of work, just a different approach.

Suit yourself but crown shouldn't need to be that
complicated.


Agreed.

Of course it looks like you could use that 8:1 ratio scarf
joint and put two pieces together on the ground and put them up as one
piece. That would be pretty cool.


That's a basic reason to use a scarf.

Not practical for me to do at work though.


OK.
