I screwed up cutting the last piece of a particular profile for a
repair job, and the client has no more scrap long enough. Can't find
the exact profile for the 15" piece I need.

This stuff is solid maple with a light stain, and while I can find a
very close match, it's out by just enough to be really noticeable.

I'm hoping to avoid eating the cost of replacing the room's worth, at
over $10/lf... So I have to ask:

Has anyone successfully joined two lengths of the stuff? Scarf joint?
Lapped splice? All suggestions welcome.

like fishing because it¹s the one thing I can think of that probably doesn¹t. *
