What a fascinatingly different approach to the same thing!  

Where Ed would align the pieces and then wick in superglue, I would align the
pieces, heat them , and slather hide glue over the whole thing.  Or, miss the
heating, and use a quality glue like a titebond III  or maybe cascamote.   My
aim is to make the new wood an integral part of the old wood, so they are
absolutely one single indissoluble item.

somehow I never quite trust cyanoacrylate for woodworking.  I’m prepared to be
convinced though.

Once the whole thing is a single piece, it becomes quite simple to finish it to
a given size for the next jointing.   finely tuned plane followed by scrapers
etc.  Your choice, according to availability, familiarity with the tools, and
the particular grain of the timber.


I hope we see photos!
