Painting Mexican pine nest of tables

Mexican pine can be prone to wood worm holes, the wood had been treated the holes are part of the furniture.  My problem is, when painted the holes are going to stand out.

I used wall filler to cover the holes, then sanded the wall filler back down to the wood, giving a smooth surface but now no holes.

We are now ready to paint.  I've selected grey and white then finished off with dark wax.  I wanted the nest of tables to have an aged look. 

A nice tip for you using dark wax for the first time, wax furniture with clear wax then apply a small amount of dark wax on a clean brush and gently stroke over the areas you want darker.  Rub the dark wax off with a cloth and repeat where necessary.  If you've put too much on use the clear wax, it works as an eraser!
