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?

Personally I have never had much success with the glue & dust mix for
repairs or filling. It never seems to take stain or finish the same
as the surrounding wood, and any glue that gets on bare wood will
adversely affect the finish there, as well. For the finish you
are trying it may work OK but definitely test it on some scrap first. If
the gouge is not too deep, could you just plane or sand it out? That would
be my choice on a small project.
