I started using Timbermate a while ago and like the results. It is available in multiple shades, including cherry. It doesn't shrink, crack, or fall out. If it dries in the container, you can add a little water to reconstitute it. They sell it at Woodcraft if you have one near you or on Amazon.

+1 on the Timbermate. I've used several different brands of wood filler and all have failed to impress. Timbermate is good stuff.
I've gotten it at Woodcraft before, but I don't have one close by, so I ordered it from Klingspor Woodworking the last time.
If you are going down a river at 2 mph and your canoe loses a wheel, how much pancake mix would you need to shingle your roof?

Thank you for the responses. I just ordered TimberMate on Amazon. Should have it Friday.

I use a paste made of fine sawdust and whatever finish I'm going to use on the piece. Works well and I know it will be perfectly compatible with the ultimate finish.

Anyone still use fine sawdust power mixed with shellac or sanding sealer? That’s my first choice for small holes and cracks.
