If I use a grain filler on red oak, will it markedly change the appearance and color of the final finish compared to the appearance if I had not used a filler? This would be for kitchen cabinets I'm building from red oak. I want the color to match some other furniture I built and plan to use the same finishing sequence. Seems like filling the open grain of the oak would be more sanitary in a kitchen but I don't want to drastically change the way the finish looks or disguise the wood species. Thanks
