There was a thread somewhere which I can't find where a guy was asking about gluing up walnut. He got a bunch of fancy glue answers.

Of course, I went ahead and glued up two 2 x 8 " blocks with a 1/2" center for some experimental bowls.

The ol' Elmer's woodglue worked just fine.

Smeared all surfaces last Monday night, clamped, in a dry place and ready to rock on Thursday with no glue seams or adhesion problems.

Still haven't hurt myself badly yet, but have two more bowls to go.

So there ya go.
