Best glue for filler

I want to mix some sawdust with glue to fill a couple of chipouts in a project
I am building. Any one have a suggestion as to the best glue to use so it
will take stain and match the original wood. I will use sanding dust from the
original wood. Wood is oak.--Thanks

Yeah, but that stainable Elmers Woodglue seems to take the stain
better than the wood. It makes the seams (or filling) darker than the
actual wood.

I don't think you can.
Try mixing the stain with the glue first,
or use a "dutchman"(?)[1]

[1] make the chipout bigger, then cut a patch to fit.

Hack to size. Hammer to fit. Weld to join. Grind to shape. Paint to cover.

They say that hide glue will accept stain much like wood. I haven't
actually tried it myself.

Any binder will seal the sawdust. If the wood is sealed, it won't
suck stain.
