Need advice on stick.
I have a driftwood stick that I am wanting to glue together. It was very crooked and unbalanced, so I cut it about in half. Drilled holes and have dowel ready to glue in place. What would be the best epoxy or glue or ??? to use? I will post pictures, dowel is 5” long....

Rodster, enjoy reading your rhymes. Merle, I’ll try to remember to post the base
