So I ordered some bone nut blanks for gibson. (4 of them so when i screw it up i can start over!) A nut slot file (for the neck) and the slotting files for the nut. I filed the slot level and spent about 40 minutes running the blank over some 120 grit paper to get the thinkness correct. I am pleased so far. But of course it looks like a bar of soap attahced to the neck. I am going to keep scraping away at it till it looks right.

I would fill the slot in with another piece of wood then route it out the proper size again. You could wax the nut all over with a wax or pariphene the nut and put it in the slot and fill with sawdust and super glue. Either way it would be quite tricky.<br />
