I just finished a honduran mahogany desk using a cellulose lacquer finish. I noticed the parts that I didn’t fill with a wood filler has a white residue left in the open grains. It appeared when I was final sanding and polishing. I assume that it is from the stearates. My question is a). how do I get rid of this now that I am finished
b). how do I prevent this in the future.

I'm gonna go out on a limb, here. . . It's possible that the
white substance in grain crevices is the dust you created from
sanding the laquer, which is what usually happens. I would
apply a light liquid furniture wax and watch it disappear.
Let me apologize in advance if I'm stating the obvious and
missing the point.
