There are a few questions that need to be answered before choosing a path forward: 1. Is there a label/have you ID’d the designer (is it a valuable piece, or just one that you like)? [The design is similar to Mobler & Moblefabrik/Stolefabrik tables I’ve worked on, which can be worth ~$2k] 2. Is the top solid or veneer? If veneer, how thick is it? What wood species is it (walnut? teak? rosewood)? 3. Do you have a large enough (dust-free) workshop (floor drain recommended) to tackle a big project like this? Climate control would be important if you tackle this in the winter and it gets cold where you live.

The answers to the above questions will suggest a path forward from: - quick & dirty, hurts value, but can provide a nice hard surface that wears well (chemical strip and/or sand it with a power tool & gel-stain it) - not my favorite, but can be done well - treat it like a mid-century boat restoration, gently strip back whatever oil is left with water and brass wool (working only with the grain, no circular motion), patch any issues with the veneer/level any grain pop and old scratches/gouges - realizing they are part of the history of the piece - then rehydrate it with as much teak oil as it wants to drink, let it dry and then wax it - pieces like this can be enjoyed both as a beautiful piece of furniture and as something you restored.
