I used Larrys method-
Keep in mind that the glue used in the above video expands and can make a mess. Further ones cured these urethane glues can ONLY be removed by sanding or scraping. A CA adhesive (super glue) may be a better choice or maybe even something like Titebond II. I've worked with urethane glues A LOT. Great stuff but it can also be a nightmare dealing with squeezeout.
I would be in the CA categorie,but be careful not to use to much.just IMO
I would strongly recommend a type 2 (waterproof) wood glue like Titebond II.
The repair will be stronger than the original stock.
Titebond. Make sure you can clamp it tight for an hour or two. I've used much Titebond in my woodworking.
All the oil must be removed before any attempt to glue cracks, or replacing a chip.
Titebond II is a good option because the glue does not fall apart when exposed to water. any squeeze-out can be cleaned up in 15-45 minutes while still tacky. The wood must be oil free and clamped. Wide rubber bands could work on a stock as clamps
CA glue works well when used sparingly. Very easy to use too much. To control the absorption, lightly coat the expose area on the stock and chip. That will harden the glue joint and fill the pores. A needle applicator and thin CA would be my suggestion.
