Pat..the "proper" way to fill in the void of your f/e would be to shape some small pcs of walnut similar in color to your f/e and glue them in with attention to grain flow. Make sure the glued in pcs are "proud"..once glued up & cured..shape the proud areas down to match and add oil..done!
If you don't have the tools to shape etc..head to a cabinet shop who can give you a nice sized bag of sawdust..take the sawdust and mix it into a slurry with glue..lay it in..dry it up..dress it down..and add oil.
First suggestion is the right way to do it but for odd shaped voids that you do not want to machine out for a proper pocket..the sawdust slurry works well.
Of course bedding material would work well too (it's basically epoxy)
Sure beats bondo!!
