Does this count as a chain splice? I don't think so, but will it work?

It's alright. Next time do a crown knot first.

It will keep the strands running more parallel to the load. In your top picture there is one strand running almost 90deg to the load.

And load will be more evenly distributed through all strands and most importantly, it looks sexier.

To keep three strand from unraveling on the ends either tape the strands or melt the ends with a lighter,match ,whatever

I've tried just leaving it fluffy and over time it sortof just "settles" in. Of all the options, I like this the best. But it looks like crap when it is new and most customers don't like it.
That leads me to melt the ends unless they request something different.

I have even whipped the splice termination on some three strand slings that I made. I was board over winter.

You can cover the end with heat shrink insulation tube...works good, looks ok too.

Until it comes off. I've used clear HS tubing from heatshrink.com and couldn't get it to stay in place unless I whipped it down. If I was gonna whip it, I woulda just whipped the rope instead...

All our commercially made safety lanyards and work postioning ropes are served over with clear shrink tube .
Now back in my sea going days we left the tails hang out on the eye splices of the 2 inch mooring lines made of nylon three strand .It was because of the 70 percent elongation of the line .
