Yes you can restore it!!! It can be very messy though. You need to get a stripping chemical called ZIP STRIP. WEAR RUBBER GLOVES when you use this product. once that you strip the desk you then need to patiently sand it.

Naval Jelly stripper. Wipe it on, wipe it off. Wear gloves. Then....use a tung or linseed oil. Did this on an old desk i have and it looks fantasic! and for goodness sakes, DONT sand it!
