Everything looks good except you need to thin those fades down quite a bit. No more than a 1/4 in. back two inches from the ends and even thinner dont hurt.

Try flipping your lam splices so their opposite and offset them from each other a bit more. Acts more like a interlocking joint vs potential weak point.

you know Cody, i have tried that before on some of my bows- i never liked the look of it, it always looked like an "oops" to me

:D

i too, like squid, prefer them to be kinda matched.

i do think that structurally- under glass it does not really matter- however in an all wood laminate- i would agree- the joint would need serious consideration.
anyway, just my thoughts on it- everyone will have different views on it i guess!
