Well, maybe your piss.

Okay, so at no point do we cover the wood in piss, then?

It is all about using a very fine paper. My father furniture coats with tongue oil, and basically uses the next thing up from a soft cloth to get those microscopic textures down.

Imagine three coats of primer and sanding off one. Then three more coats and sand off one. Totally smooth! I discovered this procedure by reading lots of repainting websites when I did the fenders and side covers on my motorcycle

You're probably using progressively finer grit sandpaper so you're not taking off the entire layers. Damn, where's Chris when you need him?

Sanding and priming

A guy posted the following on Usenet, in terms of getting a non-textured finish on a cab:
A smooth finish isn't difficult. It does take time and effort but there is no rocket science involved. Strip - fill - sand - prime - sand - prime - sand - paint- sand - paint.
Doesn't sanding after priming have you sanding off the primer you just put on? What is the point of priming and sanding multiple times?
