Thanks for the tips Arran. BTW, those lighter areas aren't totally sanded through the veneer. When I was removing filler I lightly used 120 grit to knock down the filler and followed it up with 220 grit. This just ended up removing some of the last remaining traces of color that the lacquer thinner didn't take out, leaving a lighter spot. The lighting in some of the pictures makes it look worse than it really is. There's still plenty of veneer there.
