All I am building a blanket chest out of Cherry . Maple & Purple hart I plan on using the purple hart for the center panel I need to make the panel about 16″ wide I have a peice of purple hart 8/4×6′ that I will resaw and plane to get to 5/8 to make the panel my question is what type of glue to use to make the purple hart panel ? will tightbond 2 be ok or do I need to use an epoxy type for the purple hart ?
Thanks Jerry

Titebond is fine. You can add some stain to make it dark if you want.

I use p-heart all the time here. Plain old Titebond II works just fine and have never had a glue line show because of "color" ... perhaps because of a bad joint but not due to glue color
