I was thinking some transparent filler maybe, and grinding/polishing it down? There's some varnish on the wood anyway.

Linoleum and vinyl are not the same thing. It does dent.

I haven't seen the original form of linoleum made it installed anywhere on any jobsite I've ever worked.

I realize the term has been co-opted by the plastics industry, but if you're specifying the original linseed oil recipe from the 1870s, you need to specify that.

Vinyl and linoleum have been interchangeable terms in modern parlance for several lifetimes at this point.

Depends on the country I suppose Vinyl is much softer than linoleum, which is why linoleum is used everywhere in public buildings like schools and hospitals etc. Vinyl is used in your bedroom
