Two handmade reclaimed-timber garden tables in Dehradun — sealed with LEINOS Terrace Wood Oil 236 in dark-stain variant. Open-pore protection against monsoon and UV.

Two rustic reclaimed-timber garden tables on a Dehradun lawn, sealed with LEINOS Terrace Wood Oil 236 in dark-stain variant.

Context

The brief, and the surface.

Two rough-sawn timber garden tables built from reclaimed boards, set on a lawn in the Dehradun foothills exposed to monsoon and direct UV. The pieces needed an exterior oil that would penetrate the rough-sawn texture without filming over it and without flattening the hand-built character. LEINOS Terrace Wood Oil 236 in the dark-stain variant was brushed on in two thin coats.

Rough-sawn timber soaks oil unevenly — the team kept the brush moving and added a third pass where the surface stayed dry-looking after 10 minutes. Drying intervals ran 20 hours between coats in the cooler Dehradun foothill air.

Conditions on Site

Surface
Exterior garden furniture — rough-sawn reclaimed timber, hand-built joinery
Climate & Exposure
Foothills tropical — seasonal monsoon, daylight UV exposure, ground-contact at the leg base
Limitations
  • Rough-sawn texture preserved — no sanding to smooth, no film-forming coatings
  • Leg-bottom in lawn contact — recoat at any signs of greying at the ground line

More from the site.

  • Close-up of the table top surface — rough-sawn texture preserved, dark oil penetration without filming.
  • Side elevation of one table — hand-built joinery and apron detail under the dark-stain finish.
  • Detail of the leg-to-ground contact — no greying or surface failure after one monsoon season.
  • Top-down view of both tables together — uniform dark tone across two separately built pieces.
  • Foothills setting with the tables on the lawn — context for the UV and monsoon exposure load.

Outcome

The result on site.

Two reclaimed-timber garden tables in Dehradun, sealed with LEINOS Terrace Wood Oil 236 in dark-stain, survive a full monsoon plus UV cycle with no surface greying at the leg-bottom lawn contact.

Both tables carry a deep dark-stained finish with the rough-sawn grain still tactile under hand. Water sheets off the tops; no greying observed at the leg-bottom contact with the lawn after the first season.

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