I’m still concerned about excess filler getting in to the wood background. Guess I’m just going to have to do test runs for a while until I work it out. Shellac-sand-shellac would probably handle most woods, outside of those with the largest pores, don’t you think?

Sand to 240G to minimise pores... (or mask... nut it'd wanna be a $1,000 contract for the effort required).

Sometimes pore fill (white dots) doesn't look too bad,

If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
