I'm working on a new project and have several pieces I'll be gluing into panels and I'm not sure if splines or biscuits would be better.
I have 2 10" x 20"x 1 1/2" pieces of mahogany to edge join into a 20x20 panel. I can do biscuits or a spline. Off hand I'd say they have the same level of effort so that isn't a decision point. Normally I'd just use biscuits but it occurs to me maybe a spline(s) would work better this time because of the size. Is there any significant difference in strength between the 2 methods assuming the faces are properly jointed and clamped and I'm using TB III?
