I got a Lanakai tenor as a gift for my nephew.

Before I give it to him, I need to address some finish issues.
The matte finish is quite rough and there are some spots on the sides that are almost rough enough to give splinters.
I work with wood daily so I have a full array of sanding supplies from 80 grit all the way up to 1200 in sheets and 2" disks.
My finish of choice for my wood art is heat treated walnut oil. It hardens nicely and is food safe (irrelevant for ukes).
Can I get away with light hand sanding with oil touchup?
What grits should I start and finish with?
Or what else would you suggest?
Thanks in advance.
