I ordered a miter box yesterday that will allow me to cut at a 15 degree angle.<br />

Thanks for the input!

You could make the miter box yourself or buy one and cut in the angle you want on it.<br />
Cheers Ron.

Mark, Both Brett and I said build a dedicated 15 degree miter box.<br />

You could cut it with a jig saw and clamp a board onto it as a guide to help you cut it straight, might be tricky but doable, if you make a jig, miter box you will have it for future CBG, you can't really make only one you know.<br />
Josh's tutorial is a super job. Cheers Ron.

Perhaps a neighbor has a saw that is good for making scarf joints. I traded a bottle of root beer for a saw cut and it worked out well.
