there is a thread at the link about grain filling and others in the cabinet restoration forum that can be searched. i never done it but doesnt seem that hard if the right material is used

GB,
I found Bartley brand paste filler at Rockler. It comes in light and dark, and I used the dark for a cherry veneered console. I applied/removed it per instructions. It did the job well.

:Try going to "stickwithpl.com". PL makes several different colors of wood fill and I have always had very good luck with the product. I buy it at Lowes. If I need to get an even better color match I do touch-up over the filler (after you've stained the cabinet) with various stain pencils.
