An unknown thing of beauty...

The other radios section is for all restorations, both electrical and cabinet.
No chastising here, just a plea not to do it. Icon_lol
It is exactly what you said. sanding through the sides and wearing down the fretwork edges.
Unfortunately you will have to sand it to get it smooth again if you used a grit less than 400. The wool wont do it.
You need to use a block, not your hand or a soft block. use a flat piece of wood if you dont have a sanding block.
Sand 400 evenly and slowly. it will smooth and somewhat level the veneer
