If you are able to apply it to the end grain CA will soak up a long ways in
lighter woods.

Hi Ron,

I wonder about using CA glue in such an application. I believe the
molecules for it are "skinny" enough to simply sink into the wood and fill
the spaces between the wood molecules. The less dense the original wood the
better this might work.
