Hi Alan, Plugs are best, if done well. Another possibility that isn't widely known (tip courtesy of Eric Schandall) is hammer felt. Cut a wedge of hammer felt scrap to fit the hole, slice it most of the way in half (from the wide side not quite all the way down to the tip), press into the hole, put an awl or similar into the middle of the split you made to make the obvious opening for the screw, and install the screw. I like it for grand action bracket screws and Steinway hammerflange screws, and have used it in a few other places. It works well. Regards, Fred Sturm University of New Mexico fssturm at unm.edu
