I finished up the vent binding this evening. I used a cabinet scraper to level the binding on the front of the top.
Then blocked it with some 120 grit.
Looking better...
The back side wion't be taken flush with the wood because I want it to appear a bit taller than the top is thick. So I blocked it enough to level the edge. Then I cleaned up any glue that squeezed out on the top.
