"FFFF" pumice along with dewaxed shellac will work. It's used as the first step
in "French Polishing". See:

Enduro (714)-366-2322, makes a transparent wood grain filler
called Enudro Wat-R-Base Transparent Wood Grain Filler. It
has the consistency of vaseline, spread with a plastic
spatula type thing and fills quickly. They also have a
"warm tint" version that's got a bit of pink that works
well with mahogany. They have a nice line of water based
finishes worth looking into. They also came up with
the Accu Spray HVLP gun.

Crystalac makes a clear water based pore filler. See the McFeeley's catalog.

Many of the really fine powders will appear clear, if you immerse them
in something transparent of the right refractive index.
Pumice isn't bad. Plaster of paris isn't so good, and whiting or
rottenstone are terrible. The best is silex (air or water float
silica) but this is a respiratory hazard and hard enough that the
finished surface is difficult to rub down.
