What exactly are you filling? Nail holes? Epoxy? Bondo? Seriously? Honest question here. If its nail holes, simple shrink free spackle would be fine, light sand for a flush finish.

I think the best wood filler/repair product is the epoxy stuff you get in a caulk tube set-up from most paint stores, I forget what it is called, just go into the local SW and ask about it.
Other than that I always have used Bondo. Check this filler here https://paintsgeek.com/best-filler-f...nd-comparison/
