It wouldn't be my choice but I reminisce at the look of my road worn DYI birch plywood JBL 4530 scoops.
A close inspection of the underside of most every Viol table (spruce top) you'll find inlay patches holding the grain together. 100 degree heat is murder on old hide glues.
I finally sold my Pollmnn Busseto Double Bass because of the constant maintenance it required. The older it got the more it needed and I live on the centeral California coast. I'm down to the pre WWII Benedict Lang laminate and a recent Upton Bostonian.
Use a high quality water proof wood glue and screws were possible.
