Butterfly slice glue ?

[powerpool]

I was going to do a butterfly splice. What is the best glue for the veneers.
This is my first and would like any advice.

A lot depends on the woods that you will be using. If you are using non oily woods then any good yellow wood glue will work very well. If you will be using oily woods like cocobolo, purpleheart, ebony and such then you need a good epoxy made for oily woods. Smith in California has epoxy for oily woods but I just use the West system glues and haven't had any failures that I know of.
