I would apply a couple of coats of polyurethane or at least a few

Yes I would think that for a desk you would want a good hard
smooth surface. Water-based polyurethane can be applied
over de-waxed shellac. I"ve used orange (amber) shellac to
warm up the color of oak and then applied water-based
poyurethane with a pad.
