I steamed out the worst 2 dings, they were actually pretty minor. Just about everything else sanded out. Finished sanding with some awesome purple 3M 600 grit. I grabbed it at random but it really was vastly superior sandpaper. It took a LOT of wood of for that fine of a grit because it didn't clog up very quickly. Once you get to 600 and higher, the color starts to come back, the wood gets a nice waxy sheen to it.
