Having previously worked as a carpenter I have vast experience with moderate size cuts, and always had a bottle of brush-on superglue in my belt. If you rinse the cut and leave it a little damp when you apply the superglue it actually pulls the wound closed as it dries as well as killing any bacteria.

Common in bowling as well, for the cuts you'll inevitably get on your thumb. Most pro shops will sell liquid bandage, which is essentially just superglue as well.
I believe the liquid bandage also has an antiseptic in it as well to make sure you kill any pathogens.
