After allowing the sealer to dry for a few hours, I fill the pores with the oil based pore filler. This process maintains the original color of the black walnut without imparting any stain which generally inhibits or clouds the natural beauty of the wood. This also ensures that the (walnut stained) pore filler only goes where I want it, into the walnut's open grain wood pores. Another benefit to this process is the sealer also protects the maple purflings from getting stained.
After a minimum of two days drying, I scuff sand with 320, apply one more coat of vinyl sealer and then I'll begin applying the final finish.
Oops, that's probably more info than you needed?
