Steampunk Lugsail Land Windsurfer

Step 8 Scarf the tails on

I used a scarf joint to add a few feet of redwood to the tail of the boom.
That saved me the trouble of laminating the full length of the boom and the trouble of finding long wood good enough to do it with.
I used a Japanese pull saw and a knife to cut the scarves.
Next time I'll cut a the easier straight scarf and add a key to keep the halves from slipping.

Then I wrapped it with a lashing of innertube. It feels good ans solid.
