Hi All, just stripped the top of this rosewood veneer dresser with some Benco B-4 and acetone. I am concerned about sanding as the veneer is super thin so any tips are appreciated, but also wondering what I should use to finish the top. Would an oil be appropriate? Thanks!

Edit: I am looking to match the drawers/sides, somewhat of a matte/satin with pretty open grain on close inspection

1.3lbs of cast aluminum, the top flips up to let the ash fall into the container below! Picked up for myself 😋
