I made a very small edge-grain (about 5x7x1) board to test the glue
strength. Tightbond II seems to hold it together just fine. I haven't used
it for cutting though. Ipe kind of smells like cinnamon when sanded, which
reminded me of how distinct rosewood smells when working with it and how
toxic that stuff is, so I thought I'd "ask the experts" :-) since I couldn't
find anything myself.


when I tested the glue joints I broke them with a hammer. gorilla glue did the
best of anything. yellow glue would let the joint fail before the wood.
