scrub it down with paint thinner to get the wet pitch out of there. if
necessary use a knife or chisel to open up the pocket a bit. then give
it a good coat or 2 of shellac. when that dries, fill the hole and
paint.
Clean the pockets out and then fill with a good wood filler that can be
purchased at Home Depot or Lowes then sand it smooth. If your going to be
using a stained finish you can get it in different colors but be aware the
filler will darken some after you finish the wood.
