Straight joint of wooden worktop

[chuckalicious]

I am about to take delivery of 2 lengths of Ikea birch wooden worktop, here http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/00123671/

The two lengths willbe in a straight line, not a 90 degree joint as has been discussed here before.

What I'd like to know is, as I'll only need to cut once, to get one bit to the right length, can I just use a fine circular saw and how should i join the 2 ends to each other?

I plan to use ting oil for sealing, as suggested here many times.

Thanks

Circular saw is ok, connect with these

Don't know what Ting oil is but Top oil is better.

join them together using a biscuit jointer.

Thanks both. 2 different options there. Any pros or cons of each?

Also, regarding the circular saw, would I get a better finish cutting with the worktop "top" surface face down or up? Or should the saw give a clean cut top an bottom?

Ideally biscuit joint and clamp, cut from underside to give a cleaner finish on top.
