The stop-splayed scarf joint with sallied abutments is a fun little twist on the standard stop-splayed scarf joint. In this case, the stops are sallied or angled. This gives the joint’s stop faces additional strength without having to resort to complex cutting, such as in bladed joints.
As with other timber frame joints, this one is further secured, usually with hardwood pegs, structural screws, or bolted.
Special thanks to Michael Cuba for helping with the historical naming of this scarf joint.
