It depends, in part, on what result you expect.
An un-filled, open pore wood, when its finish is buffed will simply give you a shiny, pitted surface, a long way away from a "mirror" or "piano" finish. If your object is to change the texture of the finish because you don't like the feel of the satin, it might work. Otherwise, I'd suggest you investigate what a shiny, pitted surface looks like and whether or not you want to put in the effort - and risk of sanding through - to achieve it.
