Teak will hold up outdoors and in harsh environments for a very long time with minimal maintenance. It is incredibly expensive...Out of financial reach for most folks. If not teak, your table might be a mahogany of some sort, or one of many South American varieties such as Ipe.
Teak oil is widely available and is a pretty good enhancer/sealer for wood. More oil won't really help...You can only get the wood to take so much. A couple applications initially and a followup application as needed is all it should take.
You can certainly sand it down however and wherever you want. It has an oil finish so there's no need to worry about damaging a coating like polyurethane.
