Hi all.
I have a stair stringer that is about 3.3m long x 10" wide.
If I was to buy say 3 pices of 2m x 1" lengths of a hardwood eg oak or
beech.
Can they be spliced together to form a 2" thick x 3.3m stringer?

Thanks.

Your mixing of English and Metric units is messing with my head. I
can think in either, but translation is a pain.

Assuming you are talking about end-to-end butt joints instead of scarf
joints, the resulting stringer would only be half as strong in the
area of the joints as a solid member.
If you want to go that route, I think you should buy at least 4 pieces
so you can make the stringer 3" thick to strengthen the joints. You
would probably not save any money that way though.
