I need just a little bit of this, and I've heard you can buy it for flooring, but can't find any locally... All I need is enough to fill a small medicine bottle, old 35mm film canister, etc. I'd be glad to pay for the postage.

The size of dust would be perfect from someone who maybe has done or is doing some red oak on a scrollsaw. Anyone out there maybe help a guy out? Email or message me please if you can help. Thanks a lot, Larry

If you're using it with epoxy to thicken it, you can also use pine wood flour (it turns a "honey oak" color that blends nicely).

Or take a ROS to a piece of red oak ...

Larry,

If you have access to a belt sander you can make as much flour as you like... just don't breath the stuff!!
