i have had several people email me about how to conjoin the bamboo slats that were  glued on the bow in the  pcs on this thread,,,  i used a butt splice at the center of the riser- pics of this step are included,, only masking tape was use to hold the pcs in place while the bow was curing,,i have also added  pics of a few other splice that can be used to join the bamboo slats and can also be used for lam and billets splicing -- ( lap or scarf splice ,fish-tail splice and Z splice) ,i have put them in the how to and build along thread,,, check them out their pretty much self explainitory from the pics ,,if you have any more ?s post them......james
