I'm not too sure that i would use gorilla glue.  gorilla glue  foams up as it 
cures. the foam is comprised of lots of little hollow bubbles so  when you 
scrape off the excess all the little open bubbles will need to be  filled to get 
a good finish.   I would use little wedges of walnut  with reg wood glue and 
mix some sawdust to fill all the minor areas that still  need to be filled.
