I have heard the expression to 'cork' wood. I think it means to fill in holes. Is this right? How do you do it? What do you need? Is it easy?

Caulking, was originally sealing holes in boats with rope or cloth soaked in Tar.
It can also refer to treating the end of wood, to stop it absorbing water.
In your case, you are obviously wanting to fill small holes in wood.
There are quite a few synthetic fillers available for wood. Some people make there own using a PVA wood glue and sawdust from the wood you are working on.
The synthetic versions (from any good DIY store) come ready coloured, to match the wood, are sand-able, saw-able, and paint-able.

To "CAULK" wood, would be the process of filling holes. "Cork" is more a bark, a natural fiberous substance,,, not strictly wood,,,and found in very few places on the planet,,,one being Madagascar.
On the other hand you could probablt take a piece of wood, distress it enough and add some holes to simulate CORK.

I'm really sorry, I don't know. But I felt sorry for you because no-one else had answered. I haven't heard the expression.
