At least as interesting, conversationally, as pet rocks, I'd think.

Maybe you could advertise it and tell people that if you sprinkle some of the dust into your normal mahogany guitar, it will sound just like a tree guitar
On a more serious note, I like the smell of working with mahogany. In a past life, I worked in a pattern making shop. We use to get a truck load in of mahogany and maple at a time as we used it so much. It wasn’t so much the smell when you cut it with the saw, but when you had it on the jointer or planer. The chips had this fresh smell that was nice. Maybe instead of the dust someone could package up some of the chips off the planer and make a potpourri? Likely not a good use of this precious wood though.
