The Brief

The brief, and the surface.

Surface: Interior hand-carved walnut tableware — bowls, scoops, spoons, trays, coasters
Climate & Exposure: South Indian plateau indoor — climate-controlled, seasonal humidity
On-site Notes: Three-coat build per piece — repeated washing pulls oil out gradually
End-grain wipe-back at 30 minutes — bowls and spoon handles take oil more heavily than face-grain

Read the full site notes

An artisan collection of walnut tableware from a Mysuru workshop: bowls, scoops, spoons, trays, and coasters. Each piece sees daily food contact and washing — they needed an oil that was food-safe (DIN 53160 saliva and sweat resistance), washable, and that would deepen the walnut's natural colour without filming over the carved tactile surfaces. LEINOS Countertop Oil 280 was applied with a cloth pad in three thin coats per piece.

Each piece was oiled individually with focused attention on the food-contact surfaces (bowl interiors, spoon faces, plate tops). Three coats applied with 16-hour intervals; final cure 14 days before any piece touched food. End-grain on the bowls and spoon handles took the oil more heavily — wipe-back at 30 minutes prevented over-saturation.

Outcome

The result on site.

Hand-carved walnut tableware collection from Mysuru — LEINOS Countertop Oil 280 three-coat build delivers a food-safe DIN 53160 surface that washes without ungumming across bowls, spoons, plates, and coasters.

The walnut pieces display a rich, warm brown tone with excellent grain clarity and a semi-matte sheen. Bowl interiors and spoon faces wipe clean of food residue; the tableware washes without ungumming the oil layer.

Results vary by surface condition, climate exposure, application method, and ongoing maintenance.
