Well spotted Alan - so it is!
It's termed 'alphatic resin' which I assumed differed from PVA - it certainly differs in terms of comparison with the commonplace white PVA.
The sycamore and purpleheart segments in the attached pic of a little segmented lidded box that I turned (not my best work I have to admit), were glued with Titebond and just held together by hand for about 30 seconds, then the next segment glued on likewise as each layer was built up with no clamping. 24 hours later it was turned on the lathe at 2,500 RPM. I think if I'd have used normal white PVA glue the segments would have been flying in all directions, but it's not something I'm going to put to the test!
I certainly wouldn't be using white PVA for window frames, but neither would I use 'Titebond Original' which isn't recommended for exterior use or loadbearing applications.
Making that little segmented box - accurately cutting each segment to mate with the others - was yet another example of the truism that I've learnt as I've passed through the university of life, namely, that 'the only time I ever feel like doing something twice is just before I've done it once'
