Here are some of the nail holes I will need to fill. The stripping process pulled out the old filler that was there. I plan on using walnut colored DAP plastic wood filler. I don’t think it really matters too much which color I use since these areas are darkly toned.

There is a crack in the veneer on the left side:

I plan on filling this with wood filler as well unless anyone has any other suggestions.

And here is a spot where I thought I really goofed up. You can see here where the veneer was completely sanded through. I saw this and slapped myself in the head wondering how this could have happened since I really tried to be careful. But I went back and looked at some of the photos I took before I stripped the cabinet and, although it is a bit hard to see, it looks like this was actually done by the Philco cabinet maker. When I run my fingers across it, it is totally smooth so I don’t think any filler will be needed. To confirm, I’m going to run a straight edge over it and see if there are any gaps.
