re: Antique door refinishing

Could try a small can of gel stain. I’ve used it before and it goes on and covers like paint. Just use an old sock to apply, then wipe off after a time. I refinished our door with it and there were some filled areas. You can tell where they are, but the color is fairly uniform.
ETA: it’s not perfect but the door was beat up already and my wife always has something hanging that obscures the spots.

Or, you can attempt to do a faux finish and use the tools in the kit to make your own wood grain pattern over the filled areas.
There are tons of u-tube videos on how to do this technique and it is not hard but will take a bit of practice for the first timer.
It's amazing what people can do with these faux finishes when they get good at it. I've seen plain wooden columns done to look like they were marble and they look pretty convincing.
