If you want to work with a wood that seems to get dust everywhere try Osage Orange. Maybe it's just because the bright yellow dust is so visible. I also cut down a bit of the fine sanding dust by using hand tools. Japanese carving files (obtained from Woodcraft) don't seem to put out as much dust plus they give control with only a little loss of speed.
