#TerminologyTuesday: Splining Splining is the installation of narrow strips of new wood between boards to fill gaps. This term is also used for inserting a thin, horizontal piece of wood into slots cut in two adjacent floorboards as a bridge between the two. This sort of spline is essentially a loose "tongue" inserted into two "grooves" in an early form of tongue-and-groove flooring. Information from the book, Restoring Your Historic House, by Scott Hanson. Picture taken from YouTube video produced by The Restoration Couple.
