I've seen grain filler done both ways Sam, seems to work either way.
The top caps can be VERY thin. Wipe your with a damp cloth and see if you get much of a change looking at the timber, might show more if it is just a change or sanded through

What do you mean both ways? Do you mean before and after the stain? Not what I was asking, didn't occur to me. I was just asking if I should use grain filler at _all_ or if it isn't needed for this sort of top.
