Default Wood Filler Question - Small Holes

I need a recommended wood filler for the following situation:

I have a nose cone plug that was made of poplar (kiln dried). It was machined about six months ago and now there are little pin holes in the wood. It looks like there were some creatures in there that wanted to bore their way out. The holes (about half a dozen or so) are very tiny (about 0.5 to 1.0 mm), but they do affect the surface. I know it was an "inside job" because the wood has been in saran wrap almost the entire time.

Since I am going to use it as a plug for a mold, I need to seal and wax it. Before I can do those tasks, I need to fill these holes and sand then to shape.

Can someone suggest a product that is suited for the task?

Greg
