Maybe dozymuppet will chime in here...
He did a "Q" top that I'm still envious of!

Oh hey that's me...
I used U-Beaut water-based dyes. I did an initial diluted coat of the (green) black, and carefully sanded that back once dry. So rather than grain filler, use dye.

Soooo single layer application, sand back, then final colour? Haha
Simple enough, even for me.
If you're in the US: http://www.ubeaut.com.au/distribs.htm#USA
And if you're in Canukistan: https://www.leevalley.com/en-ca/shop/tools
Seems pretty available around the EU and UK as well.

Hey Dozymoppet,
Did you wet down the top first as per on the website or straight into the dye.

Straight on with the dye. It's water based, so it will probably make the grain raise a bit, which you will then lightly sand back.
