Little trick
Jim Davis:
Nice clamps too.
bjrogg:
That’s thinking out of the box. Gonna have to remember that one.
I’m thinking your precautions to keep it from splitting out were a good thing. I can certainly see how that could continue further than wanted.

JW_Halverson:
Good idea drilling the hole at the end of the saw cut. Rather than focusing all the strain in one tiny spot, the round hole spreads the strain across the circumference of the hole. This is often done in leatherwork when you have to make a slit that bears pressure. We do this in the jesses used in falconry where we attach the swivels or clasps to prevent the leather tearing out.
GlisGlis:
Great experiment!
To be honest it scares me bad
it looks like a billets junction with a reduced contact area (no dovetail) and a greater angle of cut.
Yes. It terrifies me
Be very cautious at bending time
Eric Krewson:
I have used a Z splice to align the limbs and take the dogleg out as well as remove most of the twist from one limb.
