Good to know I'm thinking on the right lines, cheers.
I'm not in any rush, is it not possible to allow for the shrinkage and then add subsequent layers as necessary? Took that approach with some smaller issues on the one I've finished already. Used a pretty standard looking Ronseal wood filler which was easy enough to sand smooth.
The frames have a fair bit of 'character' so I'm not too bothered about it being perfect.
