While there are some decent stainable wood filers, they will rarely accept
the
stain the same as the wood.

Famowood does.

While there are some decent stainable wood filers, they will rarely accept
the
stain the same as the wood. Firstly, are these nail holes, or something
much
bigger/longer? Assuming nails, I'd stain and apply at least enough finish
to
seal the wood. Then take some sawdust and a little glue. I split it into a
few
samples, and add different amounts of the stain used, then let dry. Pick
the
one that best matches the finished dresser. Fill each hole and wipe with a
damp sponge, then again with a clean part of the sponge. The finish will
prevent it from sticking. If it doesn't level to the surface, repeat when
dry.
It can then be touched up with finish if needed, or the final coat of
finish
can be applied.

As it happened, I used Golden Oak about 2 years ago on a window molding
and
sill, and you can't easily find the nail holes.

particularly like?

TIA.
