Oh and the biggest challenge when I make a scarf is that the face of the headstock is thinner than the neck. Usually the neck is 7/8" (19mm) and the headstock is about 5/8" (15.875mm).
Ahhhh, yes, you're the one I commented on having the extra wood inside the box. Good solution. I do the same and it makes the neck much stronger there.
so your interest in scarf joints. I see in your photos you have a picture of a scarf drawing. That will work. What ever works that will make the strings bend over the nut and stay in place. There are many ways to make a scarf and everyone has their own method. I do use about 13 degree angle but some use 8 - 15 degrees.
Welcome aboard, Rockinfrasse! You will find lots of helpful folks and information here on all things CBG (CBU, CBB, etc.) Feel free to poke around, ask questions, and post your stuff (photos, recordings, videos, etc.).

I just hate using string trees.
