Gluing Lignum Vitae

[woodbutcher]

I am using Lignum Vitae to build a couple of shoulder planes. I am wondering what the technique for gluing this wood should be. Most of the info I've found just says that the wood needs a special technique but doesn't elaborate. Has anyone had experience in gluing this wood?
Thanks

I have glued other oily woods and using these suggestions worked for me.

Thanks for the link. Looks like it has a lot of valuable info. I've decided to try West Systems G-flex. It's supposed to be formulated for oily, tropical woods. We'll see!
Thanks again.
