Here's a tip. Fill the gap with white glue (Titebond or such). Then use sandpaper and sand from the body towards the edges driving the sawdust into the gap. Works like a charm and the white glue doesn't darken the sawdust.

I don't have any personal experience with this but someone I trust says to use plain old Elmers household white glue, not Titebond, to mix with the sawdust for a better match.

They do make a product we used to use when we were doing the finish carpentry on upscale homes. We would save the flour in the bags of our sanders and mix it with this stuff. It was specifically formulated for this purpose. It did a great job of filling and not getting darker than the wood we had just sanded. It's been so long I can't remember the name. I bet you could find it from a specialty paint store.

Yes, yes. Titebond puts a yellow dye in their original and water resistant brands. Not sure about III brand. It does tend to give a yellowish cast when dried.
