I've got good wood four by sifting sawdust through a fine sieve, in small
quantities. The seive I use is for straining tea. GA has noted here before
that ordinary flour sives are too coaurse for getting good wood flour from
sawdust.


I get my wood flour from the dust bag of my belt sander. Especially from
sanding mahogany, you get the finest wood flour you can imagine.

And to Brain D:
I use cotton fibre from West and it works very good. Basically, it is
cellulosis fibre, to it is technically the same material as wood. It's cheap
and you only need a very small amount to get a nice thick peanutbutter-like
mix.
