All the papering jobs I've seen look like crap. There is no substitute for the old fashioned fill/sand method for a beautiful, long lasting finish. By the time one papers properly, one could have done it the right way in the first place. Papering doesn't like direct sunlight (heat), and it gets crappier looking with age. It adds very little strength. You want strength, wick CA into the woodgrain and sand, or use basswood. Don't give in to easy...it'll look like it!
