I’m quite pleased with the cabinet! It looks fantastic with a clear gloss coat on it.
I am also satisfied with the veneer patch on the control panel. I had a very small gap on part of the splice on the right side, but I mixed up some fine sawdust and glue and was able to fill it in and sand it down smooth. I’ve read that you want to use irregular shapes to join splices of veneer, and so that’s what I did. Being that this will be a very dark piece of wood, I’m not overly concerned that any differences in grain will be noticeable. My primary concern is that it is now repaired and entirely smooth to the touch.
