About pore filling.. I had read (someplace) about using Drywall Compound mixed with a dark colored dye. Has anyone tried this method, and if so, what was the end result? Was anyone successful, with the addition of Tru-Oil?

Home brew finishing processes are the paths to a mess!
Use a proven compatible system, preferably all chemicals for the manufacturer. If you want an opaque filler "Timber Mate" comes in colors sands easily. There is no special magic involved in finishing a guitar -- just impeccable preparation of the surface. Finish sand, finish sand again, and than finish sand again -- you might then be close. -- This is not meant to be a joke.
