Fill in grooves in solid oak dining table

[markwidgery]

I have just bought a solid oak dining room table from oakfurnitureland. I waxed it on arrival. Lovely wooden table but as with all their products there is a groove (5mm wide and 5mm deep) running about 12cm in from the edge of the table. The groove gets filled with loads of food gunk which sticks and is difficult to remove. Any suggestions of ways to fill the groove and make the table-top smooth? I like the wood and would rather not use a tablecloth. I also want something that I can remove if required so it doesn't void the warranty. Thanks in advance

Bit late to decide you don’t like the style. Groove looks too large to fill with anything temporarily .

just to add they are internal size so you will need smaller dependent on wall thickness

You could fill that with epoxy resin with jet black pigmemt then sand down and respray the entire top with an acid catalyist lacquer.
Would look great.
