Default Natural, water-resistant glue such as casein or hide glue?

Does anyone know where I can buy casein glue, hide glue, or some
other *natural*, (i.e., animal or vegetable) water-resistant glue for
hardwood? (I only need a small amount!)


Could one ask why it has to be natural?


Some would cosider me obsessive, but I'm making a musical instrument
(wooden flute) from a design that is about 150 years old. I just want
the (arguably perverse) satisfaction of doing it without using any
materials that could not have been produced 150 years ago. That's
more-or-less it.

Plus, I am keen to try out these natural glues out of curiosity.
