Ok, tried it. Maybe I am no good at it, but it gives me the same result as filling it with sanddust and a bit titebond. Fills nice ,but still a bit darker than I want.

The best match for color I had with shellac sticks.
Downside is that after time, when the wood darkens, the fillings become too light. And therefore very visable. I call it: "The law of preservation of misery". Ha!
