How about Gesso? It might work.

I have a question on how to cover stains in cypress knees.

Just got a batch of knees and many of them have very deep black spots and stains in them.  We usually paint  our Santas with acrylics after they are carved.  But it looks like we will need some kind of base coat, in order to really get the stains covered.  Is there an acrylic primer available?  Any suggestions or recommendations??
