Default Repairing Dinghy Oar

What would be the best glue to repair the wooden blade of an oar? I was
going to use epoxy glue but is there another good or better alternative?
Thanks.

From my experience, an epoxy glued junction (where the 2 pieces of wood
broke) is stronger than the surrounding wood. Might not hold true with true
hardwoods, but that's the way it is with teak, mahogany, fir, pine,
spruce......
