Yes - fine sand

Use wet / dry paper and start with maybe 600 and go even higher and because it's wet, you'll actually see the weave disappear as you continue (usually). Once you get it to disappear, let it dry and go from there with either epoxy or varnish.

No guarantees, but I have done it many times.
