I am going to do a similar join to that in the post by Ian.
However as I will have difficulty with the angled cut along
the axis of the pieces I will make those two cuts parallel to
the sides and cut an angle back in from the face of the post.
This will give a pair of acute angles that should lock together
well very well,especially with the aid of polyurethane glue
and some bolts!!
have a look at this site Scarf Joints, Scarf Joint Repairs by Trillium Dell
try and avoid using glue and boltsregards from Alberta, Canada

other than a birdsmouth scarf, you can add a key or spline into that joint as well.
somewhere on the 'net (and my broken external harddrive) is an english translation of 'how to' do japanese timber joints) or here

Why do you eschew the use of bolts?
Wongo: Thanks for that. I had to look several times to see what was going on
and how it worked!!
