For wood on wood I usually use thick CA.

If there were 20 types of glue in the world you would probably get 30 different answers to this question. I am pretty sure I have read someone's post that they use wood glue (and they make some really nice looking pens).

Glue some samples/blanks together (don't bother drilling or putting a tube in them) and give them a turn - see what holds up well for you and what you like.

For wood on wood for pens, I use CA.

I have used wood glue in gluing up bowl blanks. But I have used CA in doing some segmented bowls.

Wood glue for furniture, boxes, toys, jigs, etc..

From a FWW test on glue strength,

#1 Titebond III
#2 Elmer's Carpenters
#3 Two part Epoxy

(I remember this because the results surprised me.)
