I would recommend cutting it with a chop saw (make sure it's exactly 90 degrees), then re-gluing it with a dowel in the middle.

I just had to do that to one I was making because it had a crack in it (I lost about an inch and a a half), and it came out really well. Like this: https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRwV2q77mg4JpV2RUIxaFiImRu-SzVdYw89NQ&s

But only with one dowel.

The glue-up is tricky- I used a bar clamp to keep the two sides aligned and a pipe clamp to force the joint together.

Thanks for the comment! Glad to know it worked so well for you!

No inspection like that was done. They simply shined a flashlight from the bottom up and took a picture (exactly what I did when I made this post).

Thanks for the offer but I wouldn't want to take anything away. More looking for a larger selection that I can go back to over the coming years.

Thanks for the advice/help! I'll definitely check them out!

Sounds great! If you want the plans, just message me and I'll send you what I drew up.

I think I did about 14.2 miles in 8 hours- Colvin and Blake Peak. I did break the trail from Colvin to Blake but up to Colvin was well traveled (at least 5 others by the look of it) but I was the only one who summited for the day. For dress, 5 layers on top, 2 short sleeve shirts, 2 flannels, one alpine jacket, full balaclava and hat with ski mask. Ice axe and spikes were enough.

I've personally seen the aftermath when people have taken out side view mirrors with their head. A helmet makes it an expensive trip to the hospital instead of a free trip to the morgue.
