OK, that's what I did, but I was expecting something more specific, but that's still helpful, thank you.
So any scarf work I've done has been with purlins or plates, and for repairing rotten post bottoms with little actual load. I guess I wasn't thinking of employing them in new construction, but I guess if it's considered acceptable, then it's just a little more work. The posts are 10x10, so there should be lots of meat there to work with. The one in this image, is one of the more common one I'm seeing, but it looks short.
