:I refuse to make butt splices and will do a 6:1 scarf splice.

Your post makes me feel like a bad person because I'm using butt splices on the Great Auk double I'm building. After dealing with the 23 foot long scarfed shear strips I decided that a tight butt would be just fine on the rest. Just another thin dark line amoung all the rest.
