I've found that the surface bond created by cyanoacrylate glues ends up being more prone to breaking than the bond created by glues that expand into the wood pores and set.

That's why you see the Elmers type glues used extensively in woodworking. The Gorilla Glue is a stronger setting version of those products.

The key is that you moisten the wood itself prior to applying the resin glue, then clamp them together to ensure that the glue expands into the wood pores. It's also critical not to overuse the glue.

The project I did with this was replacement of a million dollar chip. After re-staining the wood, the repair is hardly visible. The seam line is at the base of a groove.
