Weezingreens, are you near water up there? I ask because I've heard people here talk about marine stains and paints for household projects. They are really tough and durable, and much more water resistant. I imagine there are filler products, it might be worth a try. One floor guy I talked to had recommended this to us when we thought we could afford to redo our floor.

One thing I would not try is wood putty. The previous owners of our house used this stuff to fill the cracks where the tongue & groove was coming apart. The wood putty just dries up, crumbles, and pops out, we have been pulling it out for 8 years! Some of it comes out in long pieces, or sticks to somebody's sock and gets ripped out of the floor. I can't tell you enough- do not use it!

Here is a picture of the wood putty-------- Hey, Tippy, get out of the picture...
