I noticed how thin those veneered plywoods are at the home centers too. I only finish sand very lightly by hand. Good thinking using a scraper. Not only do you have more control, you won't muddy up the edges of the veneers with all the dust from sanding. Espescially with how porous oak is, it sucks up everything. Also, power sanding different density woods will not yield good results. The softer woods will sand faster than the harder woods leving you with a wavy surface.

Awesome table. I really like the curves of the support.
