Neck heel holes

[pst62]

Hi all,
I need to drill new holes in a neck heel, the neck has been previously used by myself, can anyone point me in the direction of a good filler to fill the old holes?
Any help would be great
Regards,
Pete.

Pretty sure that dowels and wood glue would do the job better than a filler.

Filling the old holes with wooden dowel rod of a suitable diameter seems to be the recommended method

have read that those dowels you get with plat pak furniture or new kitchin units are very good for this job with a little PVA glue.

Got some of them somewhere mate, but I'm thinking of using a kebab skewer as they're hardwood, the one I have fits the holes perfectly.
