I'd use Brummer Stopping, only because I have different colours about 15yrs old.

You can mix it with stain to get the colour match.

Fill it with whatever and use a tea bag to stain it.just keep dabbing it a bit at a time until the right shade is achieved.Its a more natural look too.Try it it works a treat as does coffee.

Dont use putty as big all says it shrinks as it dries and it does not take stain.
