I've an upright 4x5 pine corner post that needs about a foot added to it's length. It's in a corner. The building is shed style. I don't wish to simply scab a piece on to the top. Where can I find out about a suitable joint to assist. Thank you.

If you go to this page: http://www.tfguild.org/joinery/joinery.html

And download part six, a pdf file, you can find lots of information about how to make scarf joints in posts.

Hope that helps.
