I usually take some of the Saw dust. mix it with glue and put in the cracks. Be sure the glue is stainable

Great first project, I really like it. I also take some of the saw dust, mix in glue or epoxy.
Problem with cedar is that it is softer than anything you are gonna use to fill it with (that would give it any strength). You have to be carefull or the wood is going to sand away before your filler will. If the knot is still tight I would just use stainable wood filler, sand and finish. Once the finish has dried it shouldn't be going anywhere. BTW, beautifull sign, good work!
Really nice work on the sign. Others have given you great suggestions to fix the knot.
Using Designer 1.187, STL importer, Center line, conforming vectors, scanning probe/PE, and the ROCK chuck.
