Very nice and detailed, makes sense. On the "no splines" I guess I get confused because I can see on the back it is broken along the grain but on the face it looks like it is broken across the grain.
So then a "longitudinal break" would be along the grain. And what I called a short break meaning more or less straight through the wood, would be across the grain and needing splines.
I like your repair pages.
