installing brazilian cherry flooring, 3/4" x 3 1/4. now, we all know BC does change color after several months, so what do i use for a filler where i had to face nail and so that it looks good?

do they even make a BC filler that actually matches the wood? if so, direct me there and i'll buy it tonight.

thanks.

The main color change happens pretty quick. In my limited experience with BC I have used a filler that very closely matched at the beginning and it still blended well later on. I am speaking of prefinished here. You could wait on the filling. I think a more important issue is not to put down any rugs yet and try to move large furniture around a little so you don't get a defined edge on the color difference. More time will not always take that defined edge away if it occurs.

If you want to be really anal try using clear packing tape when you face nail prefinished. Put down the tape, nail thru it, fill the holes and wipe off any excess. Carefully pull the tape up and the results may surprise you.
