Everything You Need to Know Before You Buy

Investing in a custom wood table is about much more than purchasing furniture—it’s about creating a one-of-a-kind centerpiece that your family will enjoy for decades. At WoodTouch, every table is handcrafted to reflect your style, your home, and your lifestyle.

Below are answers to the most common questions we receive from homeowners considering a custom dining table or live edge wood table.


What Type of Wood Do You Use?

We work with carefully selected solid hardwoods known for their beauty, durability, and long-lasting performance. Depending on your design goals, we may recommend premium species such as:

  • White Oak
  • Black Walnut
  • Maple
  • Other high-quality hardwoods

Each wood species offers its own unique grain pattern, color variation, hardness, and character, ensuring every project has its own personality.


Is Every Table Truly Unique?

Absolutely.

No two slabs of wood are ever identical. Natural grain patterns, knots, textures, and color variations make every handcrafted table completely one of a kind.

When you purchase a custom table from WoodTouch, you’re investing in a piece that cannot be replicated.

How Long Does It Take to Build a Custom Table?

Every project is different.

The production timeline depends on the table’s size, design complexity, and customization options. A typical project includes several important stages:

  • Selecting the perfect wood slab
  • Wood preparation and conditioning
  • Custom fabrication
  • Sanding
  • Professional finishing
  • Quality inspection
  • Delivery and installation

We never rush the process. Our goal is to build a table that will last for generations.


How Do I Care for My Solid Wood Table?

Maintaining a solid wood dining table is simple.

We recommend:

  • Cleaning with a soft microfiber cloth
  • Avoiding abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals
  • Wiping up spills immediately
  • Using coasters and trivets for hot cookware
  • Maintaining stable indoor humidity whenever possible

With proper care, a handcrafted hardwood table can remain beautiful for decades.
