Hello all,

is scarfing over a post acceptable? It seems to me that a scarf is most common over a brace - what is the reason for this location? My guess has often been that when the braces are loaded in C&T, the tendency would be to try and 'dislocate' the scarf if it were over the post???? If this is the case, then the lower blade should catch both braces and the post tenon?

Thanks folks,
Brock
