Most people get lazy, myself included and start using a belt sander or some sort of power sander. Before you know it, even for the seasoned pro, you are through the first layer of veneer and the damn thing is done unless you call your favorite finisher to color blend in the booboo. My first go to tool is the hand scraper, an old fashion finishing tool. It takes off very little, fine layers of wood but faster then hand sanding with tremendous controlwithout going through the veneer.
