name that joint

[lurker]

Unless there are some mindreaders out there this thread might not get anywhere.

Some time ago I saw a really strange & complex joint - wrote down the name and put it in a safe place so I could research it and make one up sometime (just for the fun of it).
Anyways the safe place is so safe................................

What was the joint part of ?

The illustrtation I saw was just a method - I think !!! the joint was mainly used for joining two lengths (rather than corners if you see what I mean).

Might have had a foreign sounding name?

A scarfjoint?

For unusual and fiendishly clever joints, try Googling Japanese joinery?

Regards.

George,

No, but interesting illustration in your link will copy that and have a bash.
Would look good in 3 contrasting woods.

A wedged scarf like the one shown near the bottom of this pic

LN,

Scissor joint close but not the one.


"Your" wedged scarf looks simpler than George's example
