There is a product in Bunnies called glass coat it is a slow setting epoxy it will take several hours to go off, I generally leave it over night. Its designed for table tops and the slow set allows it to settle across the table. Its perfect for what you have in mind. But you will have to tape up any possible leak points and it may take several goes on a large crack.It can be coloured by spirit stain also available at Bunnies [ Feast & Watson 12ml Prooftint is around $12 and you use a few drops ]. The adding of the spirit stain greatly lowers the viscosity and the need to stop any leak points becomes very important
I have used this epoxy extensively on a lot of Sheoak Rose and Beach which is quite common where I live. The major issue is the cost at $50 per litre

Sometimes it seems like I use the stuff on every other project but then again - when I look at the timbers I choose to work with - to say so wouldn't be a big whopper.
It should work well for you if you're willing to wait the cure time.
And I'll repeat Hughies caution about leak-proofing first. There ain't nothin' messier than trying to patch things up after a pour.

What I tend to do is have a few that need filling alongside the one I 'm doing at the time, that way if my usual judgement on volume is off

I can pour the excess off elsewhere. This is especially handy if you some biggish cracks/void etc as the slow fill is the only way to be sure of getting in everywhere.
