Wood putty

It is often composed of wood dust combined with a binder that dries and a diluent (thinner), and, sometimes, pigment.

Pore fillers used for large flat surfaces such as floors or table tops generally contain silica instead of or in addition to wood dust.

Binders include lacquer, water-base, and linseed oil.

Some woodworkers make their own putty using fine sanding dust (not sawdust, which is too coarse) with wood glue or a wood finish such as shellac.
