For filling nail holes, my choice is the wax filler sticks available
in most lumber and home centers. They are available in a wide range of
shades, and I rarely have any problems finding one to match the color
of the wood. They are also extremely simple to use - merely rub the
stick over the nail hole until it is filled, then buff with a cloth.
This shuld be done after the piece is varnished, and is generally all
but invisible.

As for cracks, unless they are severe, you should probably just leave
them. If you plan to stain the wood, almost any wood filler will stain
differently than the wood (even plastic wood and sawdust), and will be
more obvious than the crack.

Enjoy the clock!
