Subject: Adhesive for wood
This query is submitted on behalf of a cabinetmaker. He is making a large table from one slab of bubinga wood. There is a crack that ranges from invisible to about 1 mm wide, with some loss of wood, extending in from the pale tan sapwood edge into the red heartwood for a total length of about 50 cm. What adhesive can he use for a sawdust and glue fill that will bond to the tung oil finish on the table surface *and in the crack*?
