First things first: you probably don't have Lignum Vitae. It's an endangered species. There are three companies in the US that import this stuff and 100 percent of it goes to make bearings. There is another wood called Argentine Lignum Vitae, which you very well may have; it's not as hard as the real thing (which isn't saying much; real lignum vitae is harder than aluminum) but it's still incredibly hard, and vastly easier to get. And whether you have real or Argentine lignum vitae, gluing it is the same: clean off the surface oil with lacquer thinner, sand it with 220-grit paper, reclean it and glue it with epoxy.
Lignum Vitae is an very dense wood imported from Brazil. It can have a density as high as 1.39 g/cc.
