Burl Wood Table with Blue Epoxy River
in New Delhi, Delhi
Burl wood table top in New Delhi — two pieces joined by a turquoise-blue epoxy river, finished with LEINOS Interior Hardwax Oil 290. Complex burl patterns deepened by the oil.
Context
The brief, and the surface.
Two pieces of richly figured burl wood joined with a deep turquoise-blue epoxy river running across the joint, built as a side table in a New Delhi workshop. The burl pattern was highly complex — bird's-eye knots, swirl grain, occasional bark inclusions. The oil needed to enhance the burl complexity without obscuring it or filling the small voids that give burl its character.
Burl voids hold oil reservoirs — the team did a wipe-back pass 30 minutes after each coat to clear any pooling in the bark inclusions. Two thin coats applied with a cloth pad at 16-hour intervals; the blue epoxy river was taped throughout the oiling to keep the pigmented resin from being hazed by oil migration.
Conditions on Site
- Surface
- Interior figured burl wood — bird's-eye knots, swirl grain, bark inclusions, plus turquoise-blue epoxy river
- Climate & Exposure
- Delhi inland indoor — climate-controlled, seasonal humidity, dry winters
- Limitations
- Burl voids hold oil reservoirs — wipe-back pass 30 minutes after each coat
- Epoxy river masked during oiling — Hardwax Oil migration would haze the resin

Outcome
The result on site.
Burl wood side table in New Delhi with turquoise-blue epoxy river — LEINOS Interior Hardwax Oil 290 enhances the burl complexity (knots, swirl grain, bark inclusions) without filling the voids or hazing the epoxy inlay.
The oil accentuated golden-amber tones and complex burl patterns, contrasting vividly with the deep turquoise-blue epoxy river. Small bark inclusions remain visible without oil pooling; the burl character reads as natural complexity rather than 'busy' under the oil's soft sheen.
Results vary by surface condition, climate exposure, application method, and ongoing maintenance.
