Anyway, I was thinking of taking some sanding dust out of my RO sander
and mixing it with some glut and patching it, then sanding again. The
finish on this will be a mixture of tung and linseed oil with a bit of
wipe on poly. Do ya'll think this will work?

I think you would end up with something that looked worse than what you've
got. I'd think about a variety of ways to flatten out the surface to the
depth of the snipe. I did this on a small jewelry box using a very sharp
Stanley no. 8 jointer plane. Depending on the size of the box, you could
probably achieve the same result with a belt sander (careful!).
