    Default Decorative edge caulking on timber table

    Hi folks,
    I'm sanding and refinishing this coffee table. it has a black caulking around the seams as a decorative feature. Could someone tell me what product I should use to refill this line? I'm thinking Timbermate or Gilly's beeswax filler stick in black. Any tips on the technique of re-filling this gap with a black filler?
    Photos attached.
    Many thanks

    I wouldn't use Timbermate. It will crack and fall out. The reason they used caulk originally is to allow the middle panel to expand and contract inside the mitred edging. I would refinish the wood, then mask the join and fill the gap with Sikaflex Pro.
