Plus you don't want to sand the top now, except very lightly with maybe 1200 or 1500 grit to take off any stray wood fibres popping up. Even StewMac strongly support just using clear lacquer only rather than sanding sealer.
It will take a couple of coats before it stops sinking in, so I'd leave more time between the initial coats than usual to let them soak in and dry. Then proceed as normal. Even then you'll still get some sinkage, but you just need to add enough coats so you've then got the depth to sand it back flat.
