I have an oak office table/desk that's been abused for the last 50 years or so. There aren't any deep gouges but it's been in a production facility all it's life and has several deep dark stains. The grease and grime has penetrated pretty far. It's pretty simple in design and not at all ornate.

I'd like to refinish it. Should I strip it with a chemical stripper or just sand it all down?
