Well I'm finally ready to finish the cabinet for my 89 so I started with the front panel.  I used lacquer thinner and steel wool to remove the old toner and although it worked well it seems a little darker than I expected and definitely darker than the new arch that Steve made for me.  I'm wondering if the thinner turned the old lacquer into a sort of stain that darkened the veneer.  Should I just leave it alone and continue finishing or sand it a bit.  I'm worried about taking off too much of the old veneer.  Any suggestions?
