A splice joint is a method of joining two members end to end in woodworking.[1] 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 unreinenforced butt joints and have the potential to be stronger than a scarf joint.[clarification needed][2]
Splices are therefore most often used when structural elements are required in longer lengths than the available material. The most common form of the splice joint is the half lap splice, which is common in building construction, where it is used to join shorter lengths of timber into longer beams.
