Surely, the superglue will be set long before the vacuum is created. In a confined space it takes only a few seconds.

Furthermore, when the vacuum is applied, the first thing that would happen is that the air would be drawn out of the timber, taking with it any adhesive that has not set.

AFAIK this process depends on creating the vacuum long enough to get air out of the timber, then making sure the timber is surrounded in the adhesive prior to encapsulating the surface prior to releasing the vacuum so that the fluid is drawn into the timber. It is a process that takes time, and imagine the entire item needs to be immersed in the adhesive at least while the pressure is being released.
