The small hour glass (6" long) will hang from the wood section. I'm thinking epoxy but worry about any wood movement. Granted a 1.5" section of cherry will only expand/contract by a worst case scenario of 1/16". Would a more flexible glue be better? Which one? Yes, absolutely. Especially considering the difference in expansion rates. Goop, in any of the many flavors, is absolutely _the best stuff_ for many jobs like this. Yep that's a good choice... forgot about goop, or liquid nails (same in the small tube), not the same in the caulk gun. It holds tenaciously. It says flexible forever. and it's relatively inexpensive. If you try it and don't like it, I'll cheerfully refund the price of this recommendation!  But seriously, good stuff, Maynard. Goop is incredible, I put a piece of steel thru an almost new rear tractor tire. Took it to the tire store and they put a big 6" patch on the inside, but I still had an almost 1" slit through the tire. I cut a patch out of an old tube and put shoe goop on the tire put the patch on that and then coated everything with shoe goop. Over 2 years and that patch is still there. Mike M |
