What a fascinatingly different approach to the same thing!
Where Ed would align the pieces and then wick in superglue, I would align the
pieces, heat them , and slather hide glue over the whole thing. Or, miss the
heating, and use a quality glue like a titebond III or maybe cascamote. My
aim is to make the new wood an integral part of the old wood, so they are
absolutely one single indissoluble item.
somehow I never quite trust cyanoacrylate for woodworking. I’m prepared to be
convinced though.
Once the whole thing is a single piece, it becomes quite simple to finish it to
a given size for the next jointing. finely tuned plane followed by scrapers
etc. Your choice, according to availability, familiarity with the tools, and
the particular grain of the timber.
I hope we see photos!
