Can some Creeker's recommend finishes that work well with walnut. I am building a buffet server for our kitchen. The wood is air dried from my Grandfather's Property in Pennsylvania. There are some...

You can use CA (superglue) "Hot Stuff" red bottle from woodcraft or the like. It will work but only moderately well. The joint will also not take a finish very well.

This is a one time gig for a neighbor. She is using it to display quilts that she makes at shows. Maybe $75 might be reasonable given the average of the market.
