re: Wood glue vs CA

I don't (generally) use CA to glue wood to wood. Wood glue is almost always better for that. Except maybe for a small piece which I don't have a good way to clamp - then I'll put CA on one side, accelerator on the other, and push them together and pray I got it right because it's bonded faster than I can think.

I use CA to glue metal to wood (generally medium or thick CA), or to fill cracks in wood (thin CA, possibly with sawdust pushed into the crack if it's separated such that it can't be glued back together), although if a crack happens before I've started working a piece, I'll generally finish cracking the wood, and then decide whether it's worth gluing the two pieces back together with wood glue.

The other glues I'll use are epoxy (sometimes used as a coating / finish, to fill large cracks, or glue wooden scales to a metal knife, and sometimes used as structural material), fish glue (gluing metal to wood where stresses will be low - frets in a fingerboard are a great example), contact cement (veneer sometimes, or wood to leather), and hide glue (wood to wood where I might want to be able to take things apart later, or veneer to wood when hammer-veneering).
