    Get 3 or 4 coats of clear on, then a light wet sand (only a couple of passes) to knock off the high spots, then you give a couple more coats and repeat until you are happy with the flatness of the clear. The more prep you put into the flat surfaces before stain and clear the better. Unless you have a veneer top, in which case don't sand it! Just let the clear do the work of filling it and flatten it.
