Those edge dings on the glass will sand out pretty easily with 180-220 grit sand paper. but....if you have actual dents in the edge of the wood,  that can be a little tricky to do without throwing your limbs out of tiller.

I've taken dents out of furniture before by sanding the finish off and using a wet rag and a hot iron to raise the grain, then sanding it flush again.... I've never tried that on the edge of a limb before.     .02 cents worth.

If you got little dents in the wood can be filled with thick CA glue then sanded level.if those white spots can be steel wooled or sanded out and if they don't get to deep smear some CA over them and steel wool . 0000
