I'm making end grain cutting boards (Woodwhisperer Design) from hard maple reclaimed from old bowling lane approaches. I can't imagine when I expose the end grain of the wood that I won't expose some of those nail holes.
They were nailed together with black screw nails and there is some black residue left after removing the nails. I'm debating about showing them in the boards or hiding them. The wood is from a bowling center I used to own and the cutting boards are gifts to our children's families. Would you fill them or leave show. Given the spacing of the nails I don't foresee many showing. My wife says they will probably display these boards and not use them. I'm on the fence. Thoughts please. Oh, the second wood for the boards are laminated woods of their college school colors.

There is a good chance
Broccoli doesn’t like you either.
