Cracked veneer suggestions
#1

My recently acquired 37-116 has some cracks in the veneer at the top of the cabinet where it curves from the face of the radio to the top.

This pic is close to what it actually looks like:

This pic is with a flash. It makes it look worse than it is but provides more contrast so you can see the problem more clearly:

So, for a rookie such as myself, what's the best way to either repair (preferable) or hide this problem? Can the wood be steamed to expand the wood and diminish the appearance of the crack? I'm open to any and all wisdom that you are willing to share.

EDIT: I do realize that the parts that are lifting will have to be VERY carefully glued. I'm more worried about the fault lines.
