[QUOTE="JonnyP, post: 848725, member: 17918"] Handsanding the veneer should remove all the scratches relatively easily. Start around 800 grit then a 1500 then a very fine. Then either seal and wax polish or if you can find it, french polish. The bits where there is a small hole may be possible to fill with wood filler of a similar shade when sanding, then sand down and continue as above. Edges can be re-glued to make sure they are holding together and the little gap at the bottom could be filled but if you don't see it, I'd say leave it. You could also try filling the corner bit (if you cut a new piece of veneer for the little ding, you'll still see the join). Do all the fixes, then sand then seal etc. [/QUOTE]
