February 18, 20179 yr Author I am not a fan of the oily woods if I am mixing and matching for effect because of the problems they can cause. Gluing oily wood takes another step of wiping the surface to be glued with some acetone or lacquer thinner to remove the oil. Glue as soon as possible after the solvent evaporates. Sealing the lighter colored wood with sanding sealer can help greatly with the bleeding while sanding. Blowing off with compressed air is another help.
