Steve,
Good thought and I did think about it for a minute or so. Trouble is I am both impatient and engineering challenged. With all this working with engineered wood, (yea, there is an irony of sorts), I chose to “see what happens”. If the first one compromised the curve, I would redo it putting the splice on one side with the center of the other side. As it turns out the curve is slightly impaired and difficult to discern visually. And I can always compensate with the track. Using 4 screws helped keep the intended curve, (I think). What do I know?
That’s what I like about this forum. Everyone kicks in a little help and we all benefit in our own endeavors.
Thanks
Bill
