Polyurethane, i.e. Gorilla Glue, is better.
If you use a PVA glue, do a fast wipedown with acetone first.

A few years ago I was going to make my daughter a nice salad bowl from
zebrawood. After a while I decided there must be a diareahic horse visiting
my shop. Somehow i decided she might not appreciate the bowl, so we now use
it here as a plant pot. The rest of that piece of zebra is still on the
shelf. Any suggestions on non-stinky uses?

Bone glue works well with zebrawood. Haven't tried hide glue yet, but
there should be little diference
