Yes you can sand it but use a medium sandpaper wrapped around a wood block. When your happy that all the marks are gone, finish with a very fine sandpaper. Dust it off, then take a cloth which is slightly dampened with white spirit and wash the whole area you sanded. Let it dry. Then there is stuff called Teak oil. You can use a brush but I prefer to use a cloth to apply it. It will take a few coats but you will have a natural looking finish with a soft sheen. I did this to some pine chairs a few years back. Make sure you are in a well ventilated area, a nice day outside even.
You can test it on a scrap of wood to see if you like it 1st.

Lovely table btw.
