Sawdust from a bandsaw is much more consistently fine than from a table saw
or radial arm saw -- that from a belt sander will be even finer. Try a
cabinet making shop or a theatre. Even college maintenance shops.

My experience making pincushions (ObCostume: surely these are a fashion
accessory? <g>) has led me to prefer sifted sawdust over bran, for
anything but the shortest-term use.
The reason being -- if bran has enough nourishment in it to be fed to
horses, it also has enough nourishment in it to attract bugs. Having a
couple of pincushions riddled with carpet-bettle holes was quite enough to
convince me to use sawdust in the future.
Crumbled and finely sifted peat moss from the garden store works, too.
