(3). A Cut Splice is made by laying two ropes in the position indicated in Fig. 86.
Leaving the ropes between a a to form an oblong loop, tuck the strands of one rope into the other as done in the eye splice. Splices are often wormed, parcelled, and served. Fig. 87 shows the cut splice after this treatment.
A log-line splice is a cut splice, but instead of allowing the loop to appear, the two lines are twisted together.
