I think the basic idea is to slap your oil/ varnish/ thinner mixture on, then take a piece of wet 'n dry and rub the wood, making a thin slurry. You then wipe off in the usual way. I presume this is first coat only. However, I really don't see the need. The bog oak finishes beautifully the way I described, and the open-grain feel completely disappears.
