I'm going to use Constantine's grain filler. I've never used this brand before, but I've heard good things about it. All you need to grain fill is some paper towels, a plastic scraper (I use a credit card) and some mineral spirits and grain filler.

   

Here is the cabinet covered with grain filler. You want the filler to be the consistency of pancake batter. It's got to be thin enough to get down into the grain, but thick enough not to be runny. Constantines is pretty thin in the can, so I didn't cut it..... Pore-O-Pac (a different brand) requires thinning with mineral spirits. You can use a paint brush to apply it, but I just use my fingers (wearing rubber gloves of course). Just smear it on and try to work it into the grain. Once you've got it covered, remove the excess with your scraper, being careful not to scrape any out of the grain.
