Nice work, bubby!  Looking forward to seeing how this one shapes up.

Darwin:  a properly glued joint (i.e. proper glue selection/preparation, surface preparation, and total surface area) will result in a glue joint that is stronger than the wood around it.  If done correctly, the wood around the joint will break before the joint itself.  There looks to be a good 6"-8" linear inches of glued surface in each splice...that equate to one strong bond.
