I bought some dymondwood pen blanks before I knew what I was doing, and I ended up with a bunch of useless (for me) material.
I make hair sticks and my blanks need to be about 8".
I want to try gluing some of the blanks together and turning them that way.
I was going to use good old CA glue, but my father in law (who knows about wood working but not specifically wood turning) say that the "shear" strength on CA is not good... meaning that I might not be able to pull the pieces apart but they can be knocked apart sideways easily... Like this:

Is that true?
He suggested Gorilla Glue. Would that be better?
Is there anything else I should know for turning like this?
Thanks to all the people who answer all my questions, no matter how silly.
