Do you see those voids in the photos? What should I do to fill them up? I really don't want to have any "holes" in the table top.

I've read where varnish is a great all around finish and will probably use that for the final finish. But right now I'm stuck on filling those voids up to the table top level.
HELP ... hahaha.

Rob,
I agree with Studor. West System Epoxy is a great product to fill the voids. I don't use it as a surface finish though, although it can be done. I prefer the more natural look of the oil/varnish/terps mix I wrote earlier about. You can also mix colors into the epoxy if you want a different look. This attached picture of a natural edge maple desk I made used West System with black tint to fill a large crack which I then additionally stabilized with "butterfly" inserts.
The second attached picture shows a natural edge oak dining table with the finish I described.
