I recently used super thin CA to seal the inletting on a stock I made for a Baker thinking (right or wrong) that besides sealing against oil it would strengthen the wood against setback and cracking. The wood, black walnut, was from a blank I cut from the stump over 30 years ago so it was definitely dry. CA is used to harden threaded wood in model building...works really well on balsa or ply. I am aware of one well known stock maker that uses CA for the complete finish, internal and external on rifle stocks. They look great.
