That platter turned out really nice. Glue in certain scenarios could be a lifesaver.
But a crack on the knuckle joint makes me unsure if it would hold up.
Anyway what cracked into two pieces was my "practice" walnut board so
even though I was disappointed with my initial attempt my second try is so
far working out okay.

I understand not wanting to go to heroic efforts on a practice piece, but for future reference, the glue joint will actually be stronger than the wood itself if the surfaces you're gluing together mate up tightly. (That's assuming using something like Titebond wood glue.)
