How do you avoid pin holes when applying gesso on wood as I can not have any pin holes as I use the aqueous paint egg tempera?

To minimize pinholes start with a fine grained wood. Let the gesso cool and apply it when it becomes thick but not solid. Brush it out in alternating directions with decreasing pressure. Any pinholes that do appear can be filled by dampening the surface and rubbing gently with a fingertip, a cloth or very fine sandpaper. Keep on top of this as you build layers of gesso to avoid pinholes popping through from below.

What is gesso paint?
Gesso is a primer. Artists sometimes apply it to a surface before painting on it. In fact, gesso looks a lot like paint. Originally, gesso only came in white. Artists put it on canvas, wood, or other surfaces before creating a painting with oil paint or acrylics. Gesso makes the surface a little stiffer. It prevents paint from soaking into the support (canvas, paper, wood, etc.), and it gives the surface a little more texture (called "tooth"), so the paint sticks better. Please see related link.
