As you are turning the finished assembly, and I'm assuming you will want to avoid any joint creep that might be felt over such large join lengths on a finished surface I would suggest that you use Cascamite if it is available in your neck of the woods.

Cascamite is a great glue, no need to rush when assembling, very strong and completely waterproof. I used to use it for making up curved laminated frames for boats some years ago now.

I also used Aerolite which is a glue plus a hardener on the other surface. Doesn’t gap fill like Cascamite but pretty much clear.
