Default Sanding and finishing Walnut.

I'm in the final steps of sanding a project and have noticed some sanding swirl
marks. I have been very careful to step up the sanding grades from
120-150-180-220. I have even tried handing sanding this test board. I still
can't seem to remove all the swirl marks. I haven't used walnut before so I may
have to drop back and try the sanding process again from 120 grit or lower. Is
walnut that hard that it may require a lower sanding grit to start from. I have
paper from 80 for my sander. I'm using a festool 150/3 sander.
I was going to use Pore-O-Pac paste wood grain filler first then use a tung
oil.
Is there another way I should consider for a natural grain glass smooth finish.
I haven't used a wood grain filler before so this is all new.
Thanks again.
