    Very interesting. What I've learned from restoring old wooden flutes, is to fill the cracks with very fine saw dust (preferably of the wood that you are filling, although it tends to get darker when you add the CA, so mixing with a bit of lighter wood is sometimes usfull) and then fill the crack with CA. This most probably have to be repeated several times over. This way I have managed to make some repairs almost invisable. Might have been possible on the tuning machines as well, with the right material. Although I do quite like the marble look of the pegs when they are finished!
