Basically, you are trimming each end of the boards back at a very gentle angle. Something like 9 to 1 rings a bell.  i.e.  if your board was one inch thick, the bevel angle would be a full 9 inches on each board. Then you glue the two pieces and clamp.Another way, not as strong, would be to butt join the sheets and then add a third board underneath, glued and screwed. Depending on the length and width of the supporting board... that would determine more or less strength.richg99https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scarf_joint</blockquote>
