The wood is walnut. All the finishing nails are driven below the wood surface, and there are some cracks where I didn't get the pieces fittedd together properly. I'm not sure how to fill the nail-holes and cracks so that they won't show when I stain the walnut. I've heard that one mixes the walnut sanding dust with plastic wood before filling - is this right? Any better suggestions? -- Ted Flinn
