1)I sanded and rounded/routered the edges
2) then epoxied all surfaces with 2 coats.
3) 2 coats of varnish on most surfaces that are on the inside portions before assembly (Much easier to do when flat)
4) assemble using CA Glue and thickened epoxy following the fillet schedule in the Hymnal.
5) once assemble and filleted, I touched up as needed with varnish (especially outside surfaces)
Wood glue can cause problems with lines showing wear it is squeezed out. I would use epoxy.
