Tree Trunk Coffee Table from the "Lakeside" Series – Unique Piece Made from Old Teak Roots with Glass Inlays
This handcrafted tree trunk coffee table combines the authenticity of decades-old teak wood with a modern design idea. The solid wood tabletop was made from two connected tree slices originating from old stumps on the island of Java. With a thickness of 6 cm, a length of 101 cm, and a width of approx. 90 cm, this piece of furniture is not only robust but also visually impressive. The total height is 43 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 stumps were left in the ground – until now. These old wood remnants are now being removed to make room for new forests. At the same time, valuable raw materials for furniture are created, which are processed by hand in our workshop.
Characteristic for this coffee table are the natural overgrowths, inclusions, and signs of weathering that have developed over decades. These special features have been deliberately preserved, carefully worked on, and combined with precisely fitting glass inlays that allow a clear view into the interior of the old wood.
The surface has been finely sanded and then 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 an off-the-shelf piece of furniture. It is a piece of nature that comes to your home – and precisely because of that, it needs special attention. Here we explain in detail and step by step how to care for your table, position it correctly, and protect it from damage such as cracks, warping, or stains in the long term.
The following instructions apply to waxed, oiled, sealed (e.g., Teak-Shield) and lacquered surfaces. Because these surfaces have different structures, 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 exactly what gives the material its beauty but can cause problems in the wrong environment.
Wood is particularly sensitive to:
- too dry air
- too high or direct heat
- strong temperature fluctuations
- intense sunlight
Perhaps you know it from grandma's old wooden doors: in summer they stuck, in winter they closed more easily. This basic principle also applies to your solid wood table, just in a more elegant form.
What Are the Ideal Values for Your Indoor Climate?
To keep your table stable in the long term, we recommend a balanced indoor climate:
- Room Temperature: approximately 18–22 °C
- Humidity: approximately 45–60 %
Within this range, the wood still works but in a normal, non-critical frame. Anything significantly warmer, colder, or drier causes unnecessary stress in the wood.
How Do You Properly Care for Oiled, Waxed, or Sealed Surfaces?
What Does an "Open-Pored" Surface Mean for Your Daily Life?
Oiled, waxed, or sealed surfaces are open-pored. This means:
- The wood can continue to absorb and release moisture.
- The surface feels warm, natural, and lively.
- You can often repair small damages yourself with proper care.
This openness is exactly why you need to be a bit more attentive with care 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 dripping wet cloth.
- Remove dust regularly to prevent fine scratches from dirt particles.
- Immediately absorb spilled liquids so nothing can penetrate the wood.
- Do not use caustic or acidic cleaning agents.
Which Cleaners Should You Definitely Avoid?
- Microfiber cloths with coarse, abrasive texture
- Abrasive cleaners and scouring pads
- 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-treat – and How Do You Proceed?
Depending on use, we recommend re-oiling or re-waxing your table approximately every 6–18 months. If the table is used very intensively (e.g., as a family dining table), a shorter interval may be advisable.
Here is the ideal procedure for re-treatment:
- Thoroughly clean the tabletop from 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 penetrate 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 observe these points:
- Use a soft, slightly damp cloth for cleaning.
- Wipe afterwards with a dry cloth to avoid water spots.
- Avoid harsh cleaning agents, solvents, or abrasive products.
What Should You Keep in Mind with a Lacquered Table?
Lacquer offers good protection – but not against everything. Especially keep an eye on the following points:
- Never place hot pots, pans, or casserole dishes on the table without coasters.
- Do not drag heavy or rough objects across the surface; lift them instead.
- Always use a cutting board when cutting.
What Is the Ideal Location for Your Solid Wood Table?
Where Should Your Table Definitely Not Be Placed?
Your new table prefers a somewhat calmer environment. A new environment can stress the wood – especially if there are temperature differences on and inside the solid wood panel. 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 cause cracks.
- Dry Winter Air: Removes moisture and causes the wood to shrink.
What to Do If Something Happens Anyway?
The wood used for our tables has been carefully dried and seasoned. Usually, nothing will happen, but the above-mentioned circumstances can lead to problems.
Why Are Such Damages Not a Warranty Case?
Such damages do not result from a product defect but from environmental influences that we as manufacturer or retailer cannot control. The wood simply reacts naturally to unnatural conditions.
Therefore, cracks caused by incorrect indoor climate, heat, dryness, or extreme location conditions are not covered by warranty.
How Do You Best Protect Your Table Permanently?
- Maintain humidity in the range of 45–60 %.
- Avoid direct sunlight on the tabletop.
- Do not place the table directly next to fireplaces, stoves, or strong radiators.
- Avoid using underfloor heating under your table.
- Use coasters, placemats, and felt pads in everyday use.
- Care for the surface regularly 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 for the location. This way, you will enjoy your solid wood table for a long time – whether it is waxed, oiled, or lacquered.
