Default Need Glue-Up Advice

I am starting a new project where I need to glue together small pieces
of wood. I have a number of scrap hardwoods that will suit my needs
but am not certain of the best way to go about it.

I do not have a planer or jointer, so I will have to do this either by
scroll saw or hand. My scraps are round, which are perfect for my
project but 'may' make joining more difficult.

Does anyone have suggestions on joining (gluing) rounds together so
they are as seamless as possible? Is this possible with a scroll saw
or hand plane? [Example: Gluing two dowels together on edge.]

I think I can do this on the scroll saw with the cuts being fairly
smooth, but am still trying to come up with the best method of rigging
up a jig to ensure the cuts are flat and even every time.

All suggestions welcome.

Thanks,
`Casper
