Saving bone dust....am I the only one?
Many years ago when I was a budding young luthier (i.e. I was changing strings and doing basic work) I was told by the shop luthier that whenever I was filing a bone nut or saddle to save as much of the dust as possible and keep it in a container in my toolbox. This has come in handy many times for filling in nut slots. Yet....no one Ive ever talked to has ever heard of this practice. Any one here that does this? I also save rosewood and ebony dust for fill in and chip repair.
