Veneer splicing???

[BrushWolf]

I've been looking at some of the posts where you guys have spliced veneers and I was wondering.... Does the splice effect the poundage (+/-) of your limb? I was worried it might add to the weight because of the glue joint. I thought about trying it with some pieces that aren't quite long enough without a splice. Thanks!

Haven't noticed a difference, but I would try to stick to splicing wood with similar strengths. I could see a prob with twisting if using long splice joints that I like with say ERC and coco or bubinga or......

Hey thanks Kenny I never gave wood type any thought.

I have not noticed anything different.  But also remember the veneer is a small portion of the stack.. the fiberglass is doing all the hard work.. then there is usually a parallel and a taper under the veneer.

Think I might have to give it a try.
