In Response To: Spline joints (Paul G. Jacobson)

I've talked with Tom about the spline joints he did, and his spline material was 1/16" ply from a hobby store. You would still want to orient the ply so that the outside plies were perpendicular to the joint for maximun strength. I haven't yet decided whether it's worth the extra time and effort, but plan to pick up some scraps from Pygmy to experiment with when we visit there next week.
