Lakeside Log Coffee Table – Unique piece made from old teak roots
This handcrafted log coffee table combines the originality of decades-old teak wood with a modern design idea. The solid tabletop is made from two interconnected tree slices sourced from old tree stumps on the island of Java. With a thickness of 7.5 cm, a length of 133 cm, and a varying width of approx. 82 to 94 cm, this piece of furniture is not only robust but also visually impressive. The total height is 48 cm.
The teak wood comes from reforestation areas. The trees were felled there 30 to 50 years ago to harvest teak wood for export. The root areas and tree stumps were left in the ground – until today. Now, these old wood remnants are being removed to make way for new forests. At the same time, valuable furniture materials are created, which are processed by hand in our workshop.
Characteristic of this coffee table are the natural growths, inclusions, and signs of weathering that have developed over decades. These features have been deliberately preserved, carefully crafted, and combined with precisely fitting glass inserts that allow a clear view into the interior of the old wood.
The surface has been finely sanded and subsequently sealed with high-quality furniture wax to protect the structure and preserve the naturalness of the wood.

Care instructions for your solid wood table – how to keep it beautiful for a lifetime
A solid wood table is not a mass-produced piece of furniture. It is a piece of nature that comes into your home – and that is why it needs special attention. We explain here in detail and step by step how to care for your table, set it up correctly, and protect it long-term from damage such as cracks, deformations, or stains.
The following instructions apply to waxed, oiled, sealed (e.g., Teak-Shield) and lacquered surfaces. Especially because these surfaces are built differently, it is important to know how to treat each table optimally.
Why does solid wood need care at all?
How does wood react in your home?
Solid wood is alive – even after processing. This means: It absorbs moisture, releases it, and reacts to temperature fluctuations. This is what gives the material its beauty, but it can lead to problems in the wrong environment.
Wood reacts particularly sensitively to:
- too dry air
- too high or direct heat
- strong temperature fluctuations
- intense sunlight
You might know it from grandma's old wooden doors: In summer they would stick, in winter they would close more easily. This basic principle also applies to your solid wood table, just in an elegant form.
What values are ideal for your room climate?
To keep your table permanently stable, we recommend a balanced room climate as much as possible:
- Room temperature: approximately 18–22 °C
- Humidity: approximately 45–60 %
Within this range, the wood continues to work, but in a normal, non-critical framework. Anything that is significantly warmer, colder, or drier leads to unnecessary stress in the wood.
How do you properly care for oiled, waxed, or sealed surfaces?
What does an “open-pore” surface mean for your everyday life?
Oiled, waxed, or sealed surfaces are open-pore. This means:
- The wood can continue to absorb and release moisture.
- The surface feels warm, natural, and alive.
- Small damages can often be repaired by you with proper care.
This openness is exactly why you need to be a bit more attentive when caring for it than with a completely sealed lacquer surface.
How do you clean oiled or waxed surfaces in everyday life?
Daily and regular cleaning is uncomplicated if you follow a few basic rules:
- Wipe the table with a soft cotton cloth.
- Use a slightly damp, never soaking wet cloth.
- Remove dust regularly to prevent fine scratches from dirt particles.
- Immediately absorb spilled liquids to prevent anything from soaking into the wood.
- Avoid aggressive and acidic cleaning agents.
Which cleaners should you definitely avoid?
- Microfiber cloths with a coarse, abrasive structure
- Scouring agents and scouring sponges
- Glass cleaners or cleaners with alcohol
- Cleaners with solvents or strong surfactants
- “All-purpose cleaners” that strongly degrease fats and oils
How often do you need to re-care – and how do you go about it?
Depending on usage, we recommend re-oiling or re-waxing your table about every 6–18 months. If the table is used very intensively (e.g., as a dining table in family life), a shorter interval may be sensible.
Here’s how to ideally proceed with re-care:
- Thoroughly clean the table surface of dust and dirt and let it dry completely.
- Apply a suitable wood oil or furniture wax thinly and evenly with a soft cloth.
- Let the care product sit for a few minutes.
- Carefully remove excess oil or wax with a fresh cotton cloth.
- Let the surface dry well for several hours, ideally overnight.
How do you properly care for a lacquered solid wood table?
A lacquered surface is very easy to care for in everyday life if you keep these points in mind:
- Use a soft, slightly damp cloth for cleaning.
- Wipe with a dry cloth afterward to avoid water spots.
- Avoid sharp cleaning agents, solvents, or abrasive products.
What should you consider with a lacquered table?
Lacquer protects well – but not against everything. You should especially keep an eye on the following points:
- Never place hot pots, pans, or baking dishes on the table without coasters.
- Do not drag heavy or rough objects over the surface, but lift them up.
- Always use a cutting board when cutting.
What location is ideal for your solid wood table?
Where should your table definitely not be?
Your new table prefers a quieter environment. A new environment can stress the wood – especially when there are temperature differences on and in the solid wood plate. In all these places, the wood is exposed to strong climate fluctuations:
- Direct sunlight: Heats the surface strongly, dries it out, and can promote cracks (e.g., conservatory, south side).
- Fireplaces and radiators: Cause uneven heating and dryness. One-sided tensions often lead to cracks.
- Underfloor heating: Allows very warm air to rise directly to the underside and creates tensions that can lead to cracks.
- Dry winter air: Extracts moisture and causes the wood to shrink.
What to do if something happens?
The wood used for our tables has been carefully dried and stored. Usually, nothing will happen, but the circumstances mentioned above can lead to problems.
Why are such damages not a warranty case?
Such damages do not arise from a defect in the product, but from environmental influences that we as manufacturers or retailers cannot control. The wood simply reacts naturally to unnatural conditions.
Therefore, cracks caused by improper room climate, heat, dryness, or extreme location conditions do not count as a warranty case.
How do you best protect your table permanently?
- Keep the humidity between 45–60 %.
- Avoid direct sunlight on the tabletop.
- Do not place the table directly next to a fireplace, stove, or strong radiators.
- Avoid using underfloor heating under your table.
- Use coasters, placemats, and felt gliders in everyday life.
- Regularly care for the surface with suitable products.
We won’t leave you alone!
Even with the best care, wood remains a natural product. If you discover cracks, stains, or other damages, just contact us. We will help you with recommendations for care products, repair kits, and tips on location. This way, you can enjoy your solid wood table for a long time – no matter whether it is waxed, oiled, or lacquered.
