Hardware Scab – A short flat piece of lumber which is bolted, nailed, or screwed to two butting pieces in order to splice them together.
Miscellaneous Fishplate – A wood or metal piece used to fasten together the ends of two members with nails or bolts.
2. Halved Splice. The halved splice is better for direct compression, and when
combined with scabs or fishplates, may be used where there is some tension.
This splice is made by cutting half the thickness of each piece to the required
length and putting the halved sections together.
