Scarf Joint

I'm curious regarding your scarfing technique on the ply.... I'd probably try and make a jig for my band saw for this but I like the idea of hand planing the scarf.

Do you draw a line on the ply at the thick end of the scarf (about 12 to 1 ratio) and then by "eye", plane until you're down to the sharp end and at the same time, you've reached the line at the thick end?

Thanks,
Bill
