I have a piece of spruce cut and primed for my dressing table top. I
examined it before purchase and it looked quite straight and nice. It is
eventually going to be painted with a white gloss and to do so I primed it
first. Amazingly as if by magic, a fair few 'flaws' showed up in the wood,
quite a few nicks and holes. I don't really want a small crater on my plank
so wonder if it is the done thing to fill in these minor imperfections or
should I leave it for authenticity?
TIA

Thank you all for your replies
I have decided to take the group's advice and fill the little holes and
dents before painting.
I bought the spruce in Homebase, I am in the UK, it was under 'furniture
board' and much the same price as the pine, it's the sort of wood that comes
in a plastic wrapper. Perhaps I should have purchased in a timber merchants
but as it's only a small piece and no timber merchants in the vicinity then
I do feel justified.
