Is there a product to patch wood?

Question:

I received an antique book shelf with teethmarks in it. is there a product i can use to fill in and sand to restore the surface? I am planning on painting it, so I could use Dap, but I would rather use something for wood.

Answers:

Any hardware of Home Depot has a wood filler. They come by names like: Plastic Wood, DAP wood filler. They come in colors. When you add the filler, make sure you wipe off all excess. It does not sand easily. It is easier to apply in two fillings than one big filling and sanding down. Match the color as best you can, it does not take stain as good as wood. It is better to stain the filler with a small childs paint brush using stain on the filler to match the color, then final coat the whold bookshelf with on final coat.

You need a wood filler.

Wood Filler. Elmer's makes one, but there's several companies who make paintable Wood Filler.

There are wood fillers, like you said DAP makes some of those products, simply fill, sand and paint or stain. All there is to it really.
