KCMike wanted photos 
so, while I was in the basement photographing my August Finds, I took one photo of one of the tops which shows where I burned through the paper-thin top veneer layer in the process of feathering out the edge to match the trim.

I still think (hope) that the stain will hide this error.
I did no sanding tonight. Got home late, I did buy some sandpaper on my way home so I'm ready for the weekend. This weekend I hope to not only do the finish sanding on the tops and bottom trim, but to stain these pieces as well. In case you've forgotten, boys and girls, Old Uncle Ron is going to stain the wood using Heywood-Wakefield Champagne stain which we had left over from having our Hey-Wake dining room set refinished. It's a very 1950s color which will be a very close match to the original. You'll see.
