Some of the most beautiful wood we use is often porous at best and punky, verging on rotten, at worst, especially on our lid insets. Palm woods are variable – porous next to extremely hard as you can see in the side-grain Black Palm in these photos. Over the past few years we’ve come to rely on Cyanoacrylate glue, commonly know as “Super Glue”. We use a CA distributed by Starbond that is very good and much more affordable than those tiny bottles you find at the home building or woodworking stores.
