How to spice billets and make a narrow handle

I'm going to use wood glue. Never had a problem with it when making laminated bows. I guess it'll hold a splice, correct?

Wood glue? Do you mean white pva glue? If so not a great choice due to its rubberiness, and the fact that its not waterproof. Not saying it won't work, just that there are much better choices like a bowmakers epoxy, or urea formaldehyde(unibond) that are both waterproof and much stronger than pva.
I have had z joints start to come apart even with hardware store, 24 hr epoxy.

I'm using yellow carpenter's glue... Elmer's to be more specific. Never had a problem with it.

I once bought a spliced blank from someone that wasn't`' glued up very well. It began coming apart in the tillering process. I re-glued it with epoxy and saved it with 2 perpendicular wood dowels (plus riser): made a 60+ bow that caused no further problems.
