Hey All! I have a table that I really like--simple and rustic. Unfortunately it hase these routed out lines as a border that do nothing but catch crumbs--yuk! An old toothbrush and vacuum hose are not my idea of after dinner clean-up. Does anyone have any ideas on what product I can use to fill these nasty crevices? I don't really want to shellac (sp?) the whole top as I like the rustic patina it's getting, and I'm wary about wood filler as it may crack and come out over time. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I'll post a picture as soon as I can get one to work within the guidelines :mad:

How about clear silicone to fill the cracks? At least if it's clear you'll still see the cracks.
How about one of these battery-operated gadgets: a table top crumb vacuum. See [url]http://www.kitchenniche.ca/crumb-sweeper-p-1163.html[/url]
what about using one of those little hand held brooms with the soft bristles....i woudnt fill the cracks either.

I have the same problem...I just vacuum it up......I had glass on a table before...and the finger prints drove me nuts..( 3 kids)......I'd rather vacuum...the alternative is using tablecloth when you eat.........I wouldn't fill the grooves...that gives the table the rustic charm........ :D
I wouldn't try to fill those as it would stick out badly I still think a glass cover is your best bet.
I found a way to shrink the file size--here goes...
What about getting a piece of glass cut to fit over the top and then you would only have to wipe it.
