How to redo kitchen table top?

Hello, I have started sanding. So far, just removed the 'sheen' from the top. Do I need to sand down to bare wood? What is the best way to give it a rustic look? There are so many different products out there and I'm not sure which gives the best results. I also need to make sure that it has some type of 'protective' top coat as this table is used every day. Thank you for your help!!

Clean and lightly sand,remove sanding dust with damp cloth. Or a sanding deglosser be used. Stain with General Finishes Gel Stain ( Comes in many wood stain colors) let dry. Use a poly top coat for an excellent protection.
