Some of those little veins of grain will be filled in the lacquer too. It never bothered me to have a little grain showing in certain areas. I want the cabinet to look like wood, with maybe a perfect top and front. I did refinish one where I filled in every single spec of grain and gave it a 100% piano finish. The radio looked more like plastic than wood. It's just a personal choice though.. and I'm just shooting the bull here.
