                       vern,

              If you scrape as much of the old glue off as possible new glue should hold. I would generally use Urea Resin powder glue you mix with water when working with older furniture repairs.This glue seemed to be more forgiving and more compatible with old glues . Perhaps the size of the tenons and joints is in scale with the design of the chairs .If you must make new tenons try and use the same wood type as originally used .

                                good luck            dusty

   Vern...

    

   My two cents

   Rosewood is quite oily and benefits from an acetone wipe down before gluing...

   I've also found in the past that titebond and yellow glue aren't the best on rosewood...polyurethane (ick), epoxy and resin glues work better.

   Good holidays thus far?

   Hope all is well

   Alison
