Glue for Heartpine?

Ric Erkes

>A friend of mine asked me if I had a recommendation for glueing up Heartpine. He wants to make a segmented ring for a rim on a large platter. The heartpine is over 100 years old, but still has lots of pine resin in it.

Would Gorilla glue work, or should he go with an epoxy?

Thanks,

Ric
