yellow glue, pretty much like any wood)? *
The dye, from what I've seen and what I've read, soaks into the wood

dyed wood looks pretty normal except for the color. *So I'm thinking I
probably can treat it like normal wood for glueing purposes, but I
haven't seen this mentioned one way or another anywhere.
Advice from the group?

Yes you should be able to glue no proble,. Be careful with glue
squeeze out. It would be hard to sand and repair.
