Vent: I was out of my usual wood filler and tried mixing sawdust with a bit of carpenter's glue for a quick patch on a maple face frame.

The client's dog chewed the corner of a finished cabinet door, and in a panic before they got home, I mixed the fine maple dust from my sander bag with some Titebond III, slapped it on, sanded it smooth, and you literally cannot tell, which feels like a weird, forbidden magic trick, right?

That's the original wood filler recipe, honestly. People used to do that all the time before the pre-mixed stuff filled the shelves. The real trick is matching the dust color and grain direction perfectly, which you nailed. It's not forbidden, it's just old-school knowledge that still works better than a store-bought tube half the time.
