Ever burnish the end? Rub it with a shiny round screwdriver or similar
across the grain.

Wouldn't the proper woodworker solution be to carefully inlet a piece of
face grain into the end grain? ;~)

That's called "sizing". It's more often done when you're
planning to glue the end grain to something, to stop the
grain from soaking up all the glue and starving the joint.
I'd probably use shellac instead if you're just looking to
seal the surface for a smooth paint coat.

I have used carpenters glue and sanding dust as a filler for a painted surface successfully even if not often.

I find that paint works well enough, just recoat the endgrain. No need
to use something else.

Folks: Would "Durham's Water Putty" work in this application? My guess
is that it might work pretty well if the surface is rough enough.
