Secretary Desk Makeover

A curbside desk just needed a little TLC.
As I stopped to pick up the top portion of this desk at the curb, a lady came out of her garage with the legs and said that her father was so happy that this former treasure was getting restored. He gave up on repairing it.
There was a good reason why it kept falling apart.
So using one of the corner pieces as a pattern, I made a new set out of pine wood. Reconstructing the legs onto the table with the wood supports was easy.Quite sturdy now, the desk was ready for its makeover. I cleaned all of the surfaces.
I made sure to tape off the sliding desktop supports to keep them wood tone as well.
The long legs have pretty "cat paws".

Have a question about this project?
Mine is burlwood. It's veneer, and scratched up quite a bit. Can I sand and refinish it, or is veneer too thin to sand. How do I get the scratches out?
