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?

No, they cannot.

No matter how you splice them, you can't possibly make a double-thickness
lamination any longer than 3 meters from 3 pieces only 2 meters long.

If you want a total length of 3.3 meters, you need three pieces averaging at
least 2.2 meters long.

If you do *that*, and splice them together like so
AAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCAAAAAAAA
then you'll be fine.
