Wood filling materials

I am a Conservation student and I am doing my Major Project on a
Greek Icon. The Icon has insect damage on the wooden support which
has caused some loss of paint and loss of wooden material(holes,
tunnels). The paint layer is affected locally and some flaking and
cracking is obvious. I would like to know which material is best to
use as a filler  for the wood.
