A splice joint is a method of joining two members end to end in woodworking. The splice joint is used when the material being joined is not available in the length required. It is an alternative to other joints such as the butt joint and the scarf joint. Splice joints are stronger than a butt joint that is not reinforced and have the potential to be stronger than a scarf joint. They are more
. visible than a scarf joint but may be preferred when more strength is required. If you would like to know more visit http://chestofbooks.com/architecture/Cyclopedia-Carpentry-Building-1-3/Joints-And-Splices-In-Joinery.html
