Teak Legs

Everything is a little jumbled at the moment, Sammy is back safe from his travels, but while the plane is in the air my mind tends to wander a bit.
Actually I was planing a big plank today and not much else, pondering possible timber for more table legs I struck upon the idea of using two lengths of teak that I got during the junkyard trip at the end of last winter. These curvy bits are from a length of timber that the chaps at the yard had laid on the ground to act as a stopper when backing up their trucks. I always end up keeping the cut offs for a while thinking I will find a use.
My main worry is that normal wood glue may not work on this oily wood, so I will have to do some research. For now I have glued two scraps to act as a test.
