Scarf Log Table July #2: The table continues

So here is the 2 cut out scarf pieces fitted together.

SO the last image of the past post was just one side of the scarf joint. The hole in the middle is for a set of wedges to be put in to keep the joint tight. Any scarf joints created for building today will have plenty of lags in it. Being a table I will use 3/4 or 1 inch pegs to serve as an additional way to keep it tight.

Some comments suggested using a sawzall or a chainsaw to hog more material out. I dont’ have a sawzall and my precision with the chiansaw isn’t what I’d like. Not that the hand saw worked. I may try your suggestions yet.

Here is the underside. I should have shot it straight on so you could see the gap. The table is on it’s side.

Oh and that reminds me, a scarf joint would be one resting on the other, not side by side like mine. My choice to do it this way is for artistic purposes. Here is a link to a page about scarf joints
