Ed,
As per Woodys post, alternatively sand with the grain, light burnish with a yellow nyweb to clear the crap but be careful not to mark the soft wood and then spray with acrylic (preferred) or cellulose sanding sealer. Then finish with friction or whatever. By creating that barrier between wood and finish, the finish doesn't discolour the wood. Works well with all woods that aren't very dense such as walnut.
