I got the stock finish sanded tonight and slapped on the first coat of oil. I've never used Tru-Oil before so I'm not sure how many coats it will take to fill the grain, probably 8-10 for walnut.
Filled the two voids in this side with Titebond and sawdust, then rough sanded with 100 grit.

Finish sanded with 220 grit.

I put the first coat of oil on nice and thick with my fingers because most of it will likely soak in. Subsequent coats will be wiped on with a rag.
