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.

I bought some fiendishly expensive strip wood from B&Q not long ago to
finish a job. Needed 4 lengths. One of them had just this joint in it -
but I could arrange so it was in the scrap so didn't bother. Tried
snapping the offcut and it snapped elsewhere.
