I have been building some furnature and am in need of some stainable
wood filler.

Does anyone have any ideas how I can get or make stainable wood filler.

I have bought the Elmer's stainable, but it doesn't.

I have tried other brands and they don't seem to work either.

Can any one tell me how to mix glue (what type) and sawdust to make a
good filler?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've seen and used lots of stainable wood filler including various
sawdust & glue mixes, but unfortunately I've yet to see one that will
take a stain to the same degree as the wood it is used on. Best thing
is to find a filler that matches as close as possible the stained
color of the wood. Next best is to fill, stain and perhaps apply 1st
coat of finish, then if necessary, use an artist brush to tint the
filled areas to match the surrounding wood. Doesn't really matter what
you use to do the tinting as long as subsequent finishing won't lift
it.
