    Hi Donna. It is hard to get the wood filler to take on the same color as the wood when staining. You could try to mix a little of the stain with the filler. That should darken it up. Good Luck!

    Hi Donna, so many ideas for you to try, hope this helps you out, have you though of just painting them? Or you can apply a peel and stick to them, that way the wood still stays the same.
