What wood filler for resewood fretboard??

Anyone knows what wood filler (or any other material) I could find locally to fix my fretboard. The neck got hit with "flying object" :o) and now is missing small peace of wood (approximately 2 mm wide, and 6-7 mm long, 1-2 mm deep), on the bottom of fret. It doesn't affects playability, as is below bottom string, just want to fix it to look better.
Thanks!!

Personally, I would use an epoxy{2 part you mix yourself } specifically desiged for wood{check your local hardware/lumberyard} and pick up a scrap of rosewood itself, sand the scrap piece with some rough sandpaper and mix the sawdust in with the epoxy, that will offer a somewhat stronger fix and should blend well if you find a scrap that's similar in color....just my thoughts...best of luck!

exactly what I would have said. Don't breath in the rosewood dust - it's toxic.
I thought it was the same family as poison ivy but can't verify that.
