I need a good cherry wood filler. I tried Famowood, but it is too red.

Anyone know of a good brand?

I use sawdust from the cherry wood in the workpiece, mixed with either epoxy or hide glue.  Mix to peanut butter consistency.  Should take a stain similar to the workpiece itself.

A lot of folks have their own formulas.  But the bad news is even if you get it to mach the color exactly today, it won't match a year later, especially on cherry that is left natural.

Good luck.

FWIW, when I must do something I use the minwax pencils.
