Got a tip from someone on here a while back to use wood flour mixed with water and Elmer's wood glue. Mix up a paste and rub it into the holes...IT WORKS GREAT!! I got the wood flour from Flounder Bay and then added some fine wood shavings from my left over cedar scraps...the color was nearly perfect. Once it dried and was lightly sanded, man you couldn't tell those staples had even been there. Thanks again to this board for who ever suggested the woodflour/glue/water trick...it worked great!!!
