My old shop is dusty, too. "Old style", hand rubbed oil finishes were always subject to ending up with dust embedded. I even built a drying cabinet with a light bulb for heat and to help keep dust away while they dried.
My latest method in the learning curve is using the Phil Pilkington style finishing in which you sand in the finish with progressively finer grit wet/dry paper, then wipe off with brown, lint free paper napkins. It has totally eliminated the dust/trash problem for me. I will never go back to the old way I did it.
