Use fillers like Por-o-pac on the bare wood.

Sealer is not necessary, but fills grain and is more easily sandable than a first coat of finish lacquer. You can fill the grain with sanding sealer or even gloss lacquer. Doing so is much more work and time consuming - which is why we use grain filler.
