Another approach is to do what is called a "dutchman" patch or repair. Google it. It is a sort of inlay method. You use the same wood to make a filler piece, cut a shallow mortise in a shape that follows grain lines and done well it ends up hiding well. Does take some talent.

I'll say. a 1/16" X 1/16" 2" long dutchman wouldn't be for the
inexperienced. First, cutting the receiving side correctly. Then
making the one of a kind filler that is 1/16" x 1/16" to fit....

Then gluing it in to fit with no glue lines or "glue seal" from wiping
away excess glue when finished....

Well beyond the skill set of anyone I know!
