Yes. The product is called "Clear Penetrting Epoxy Sealer," and I have seen
it used successfully on some pretty punky wood. It think the only problem
you would have is that if the wood is REALLY porous, the filler + wood won't
look like wood. I'd give it a try, though, since the wood is so attractive.
(Smith and Company has a website.)
