Don't any one take this the wrong way because my spelling kind of sucks. But just to help us all out. If you use speech try to read what you wrote before you send. If it does not sound write. Try to respell it or use the spell check. If you use Zoom text or some other non speech program there is no way to know how JAWS will pronounce it. Now that's another story. As I said my spelling sucks so I am not picking on any one here.

There are special fillers you can apply to fill up the grain. Usually they are applied across the grain so you don't just wipe on and off again, once set up fine sanding or scraping will leave a much smoother surface.You can then also apply sanding sealer. This will cause the grain to pop or fir up a bit but stiffen it it for the next sanding. some use wet paper with water to wash away any grit and dust as they sand to keep scratches from appearing, I have never done this but I understand it to also be a good technique. I would think you would have to continue working until the wood is about dry to keep the swollen grain from protruding but I don't know that for sure. To get that really smooth surface I have found that sanding between coats with very fine paper then tacking off the surface thoroughly so there is no dust before applying the next finish coat is the only way. Even with oil based finishes, application will cause some of the grain to rise thus changing your finely sanded surface. There is no denying that a fine finish depends on detailed attention to each preceding stage. Hope this helps.
