Newbie question for you DB, you mentioned needing to grain fill an ash body, I'm going for DT outback sunset,

If you want to Pop the figure, mix some Timbermate with water and a little black ink until you get a thick cream consistency.
If you just want a flat surface with the filler, there are some tinted versions of Timbermate. Get one as close to the timber colour and use that.
Then with a rubber scraper work the filler across the grain.
Let that dry off and sand back with 320 grit sandpaper. Check that all the pores have been filled and repeat if needed.
Give it at least two days to completly dry and set before starting on the DT stain
