I am making a sharpening station out of the scrap Doug fir 2x4s from my old workbench. Let’s say I need a 22” long 2x4 but only have 17” scraps left. Is there a structurally sound way to join two pieces end to end to make one longer board? I’m thinking just a half lap joint glued up really well? It wouldn’t be load bearing but would be providing stability to the frame of the table.
Thoughts?
