hey guys , yous have always been able to help me in the past , i hope
so again, i have just made a jewelry box for my sons wedding ,they
wanted for the ring bearer to carry the rings down to them and them
for there jewelry latter as well. now i have a few flaws in the box ,
and would like to touch them up with wood filler, i remember some time
ago i tried it with pine and the stain didn't absorb into it and left
real light coloured marks where i had touched up, this box is oak and
i did a test fill on some scrap and the same thing happened , now is
there a filler out there that will accept the stain. thanks fred h

Stain before filling, put one coat of sealer on, then match filler to what
you see. This is the only way to insure a match, IMHO. Finish the last
coats like normal.
