Canard Spar #8

Don't worry, I didn't stop building; spring chores just got in the way.  Tonight it was back to work on the canard spar.  I had to start my evening by extending the straight edge on my work bench by 2 feet.  Then I glued in the remaining 4 vertical support pieces. I had some glue left over so I thought it would be a good idea to glue one of the 6 scarf joints for the plywood shear webs. I ran out of glue 3/4 of the way through so I quickly mixed a second batch and finished the joint. This scarf joint is one of the joints with parallel grain. The spar will have a grain pattern like this:
