Just wanted to post an update on this. I ordered some 4F pumice stone and rottenstone along with some felt rubbing pads. I gently wet sanded the entire cabinet with 1000 grit paper and have moved on to 1500. From there I'll go to 2000 and then try rubbing it out with the 4F pumice stone. Depending upon how it looks I may use the rottenstone.
Hard to believe I started working on this cabinet 13 months ago! But like I've mentioned previously, this is just a hobby for me and I work on it when I have the time. I'll post some more pictures after I've gone over it with the 4F pumice stone.
