I think the answer would be yes. But why would you want to?
If you are going down a river at 2 mph and your canoe loses a wheel, how much pancake mix would you need to shingle your roof?

Are you looking for a rustic finish? A oil finish that might work for you is Minwax Antique Oil finish. It has an alkyd varnish in it and easy to apply.
Regardless of the finish you use, let the stain dry for a few day, then apply the top coat. You may still get some of the stain lifting unless your spraying a top coat
