Preparing cypress wood clock blank for finishing

I have a cypress wood blank that I am preparing to finish. It has several large gaps/ separations in the face that I would like to fill prior to finishing with a resin and hardener mix. What sis the best material to fill these gaps/separations?

Thanks

Chuck

You could use the miniwax product and add some contrasting color to the filler.

Craft stores also sell a clear resin which you can add a dye, or a little artists colors.
