The simplest way would be to apply glue, put joint into vacuum and let the air escape. Glue will be forced deeper into crack when air pressure restored.

with respect to using polymers to stabilize wood, there is another example: diamonwood, popular with fretless bass manufactures. It is a maple (birch?) plywood glued with extra hard epoxy. Very nice finish, similar to "propeller wood" PanAms, but with more color choices.

My guess they would work very well. There are will be some acoustic differences attributed to material (sharpness of toneholes, smoothness of surface, mechanical properties, etc) but they would be hard to market and won't sell.

Some stereotypes are hard to break: clarinetist believe that grenadilla is the best material for clarinet, flutist believe in silver, saxophonist into french brass or bronze, etc.
