I'll have to test that out. I assume you mean a wood sealer, but I'll try
it.

He said wood *FILLER*. One would assume that is what he means. Paste wood
filler.

A sealer - a different thing - might help depending on what it is.

A wood filler is for filling defects.

And the proper ones properly prepared and applied also for filling
porous grain in woods like oak to help prevent excessive stain takeup if
the stark contrast isn't the desired effect.

Pardon me for jumping in, the main reason I see usually stated is to
get a smoother surface, since the filled pores will not have "divots"
after the topcoat is applied. Sometimes people will actually tint the
filler to enhance the contrast. Not me, though.
