Hello and greetings to the group. (My apology if this posts twice,
I am having trouble with the server.)

I am embarking on a project and I have a question about glue. I
believe I already know the answer, but wanted to confirm.

Is there any reason that two boards glued face-to-face with
tradional yellow glue would not provide a strong enough and
permanent bond for a vertical load bearing member of a bed?

I am using air dried walnut from central Indiana to build a bunk bed
such as this one http://plansnow.com/bunkcloser.html

The plans specify using boards 1 and 1/16 thick but I can only get
about 3/4" thick after I plane them. With that in mind, my intent
is to glue two pieces together to yield a 1.5" board and then plane
that down as needed.

Is this sufficient for a 20 to 50 year span and beyond? Should I
consider any different adhesive?

Yellow glue is fine. Easier to buy 6/4 or (maybe) 5/4 stock than to
dress and glue up thinner pieces though.
