Got a wooden table we keep in the kitchen, which has taken a fair battering in recent years. I'd like to re-finish it and apply some sort of protective coating to the wood. The wood is a native New Zealand timber, and it's developed some cracks around the edges over the years. I was thinking restoring it would be a matter of sanding it down a bit, filling the cracks in with wood filler or something similar, and then applying a coating of some variety. This is my first time working on a wood project like this, and I'd like some advice if possible.
I'm pretty sure the legs of the table are Rata, but as for the rest of the table I'm not sure, except that it's a native wood. My guesses are Kahikatea or Hinau.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
