    From the "better late than never" category: A great way to fill the grain of that wood is to use plaster of paris.

    Take the plaster and thin it with water until it's thin enough to spread with a brush (a cheap foam brush works very well). Spread it evenly over the surface of the wood and allow to dry for 30-60 mins. Then sand, beginning with 120 grit and work through 150, 180 and 220.

    This is also a great way to fill porous woods that you want to stain, then top coat with a clear finish.
