tom - I don't get the "very spendy" - I buy CA glue in 16 oz bottles for
around $25 if memory serves. You can use thin epoxy too, there is an
ebay vendor that sells that stuff who is in San Bernadino - I have used
his epoxy to strengthen some weakened wood for a car body, but I didn't
use it on wood turning. Of course CA glue bought for $5 per drop in
those little tubes is expensive, don't do that. There are many web
sellers of the stuff, even in 80 gallon drums.

Starbond sells in small quantities

Thank you for setting me straight on the price issue, for CYA.
