To my horror I found that these wooden parts which are about 200 cm

around 20 x 3 x 2 which have been joined together by being machined on
the ends into a male and female tapered comb, and then glued to form a
single piece of material which can be used as virgin timber.

With decent glue that makes a joint as strong as continuous timber.


Providing the wood is sufficiently dry. IIRC 5% moisture content is the
spec for laminated pine boards. Above that the RF glue doesn't work.
