From Waxed Wood

Cover the stain with sheets of absorbent paper and soften by pressing with a hot (not too hot) iron. The paper will absorb the glue.

From Varnished Wood

Use a clean cloth and warm water to dab on the glue-stained area. Cooking oil is a good alternative if the first option does not work.
