building a table top and I have a lot of short 24" white oak boards. Is there any way that these can be joined into longer boards for a table top? Thanks in advance.

Dowel pins or biscuits should work just fine. It would be a good idea to stagger the joint lines in adjacent fitting boards.
Or finger joints with a router. Makes a stronger joint.

8:1 scarf joints.You will need a jig and either a router of a hand held power planer to do it.
As a boat builder, been there, done that, keep the tee shirt.

Lap joints may be the easiest.
