I am restoring a 1956 Homebuilt boat, I stripped and sanded the deck and refilled alot of the screw holes.
I stained and sealed the deck, and have to decide what to do with a problem... The wood filler that I replaced and added left a shinny ring around the filled holes that were not sanded hard, after the Sealer they can still be seen, I think that the wood filler filled the pores in the mahogany making the shiny rings, oops.. I am wondering that if I completely fill all grain pores with Varnish if these will go away???
Should I have used a filler stain?

Thanks in advance for your help

I suspect you are right about the rings. Thickened epoxy does the same thing. You can sand through it, being carefull not to sand too far, to limit the rings. Wood plugs would probably be the best way to go though.
