  1. How to Maintain the Natural Beauty of Your Live Edge Table In the past years, live edge furniture has really grown in popularity. This raw, organic appeal is added to the room to create a distinct character. Be it a live edge coffee table or a dining room table, such pieces are much more than mere furniture; they're pieces of art. Still, in order to keep this natural beauty intact, the care taken becomes all-important. Here's how you can make your live edge walnut table remain impressive for many years ahead. 1. Cleaning Gently and Frequently One of the easiest and yet most crucial maintenance steps in your live edge wood coffee table is its cleaning. Cleaning should avoid using chemicals to avoid stripping off the polish of the wood. Gently rub the surface by using a soft cloth that has mild soap mixed in warm water. Wipe the surface dry immediately, so there will be less chance for moisture to trickle into the wood, eventually causing warping or even cracking.

  2. 2. Seal the Wood with Oil or Wax Maintain the warm tones and grain of your live edge walnut table by applying a few coats of oil or wax every couple of months. This is a form of feeding the wood that protects it from daily usage. Choose a natural, food-safe wood oil like mineral oil or tung oil, which gives the grain of the wood without the greasy residue. If you like a shiny finish, the beeswax or carnauba wax will add elegance to it while protecting it from scratches. 3. Avoid direct sunlight and direct heat exposure Live edge tables, especially those made from fragile woods like walnuts, are sensitive to light and temperature. Direct sunlight can cause fading and drying, thus reducing the natural beauty of your custom dining room table. Avoid placing hot items directly on the wood because heat damage may cause discoloration or burns. 4. Use Coasters and Mats While live edge wood is durable, it’s still susceptible to scratches and dents. Use coasters for drinks and placemats for food to protect the surface. This is especially important for a live edge wood coffee table, where you might place cups or mugs regularly. By following these simple steps, the natural beauty of your live-edge walnut table can be beautifully maintained and can add style and timeless grace to a home for generations. .
