You got a stipple finish without even trying. You could get some stipple finish paint to even out the afflicted edging. The contrasting texture might be nice and give it some grip when you stand it up on the floor and lean it against something. You could also apply wood grain stripping to the edge and go for the old station wagon look.
If you redo it, do a test block of wood with paint and lacquer to verify drying times and compatible chemistries.
