Belfast Butler Sink Wooden Draining Board Made from Solid Oak Wood - Rised and Angled

Product Information

Wooden worktops make a beautiful complement to undermounted stainless steel kitchen sinks and glossy ceramic sinks. Without a built-in draining board, it is sensible to ensure that kitchenware can be left to dry beside your sink without leaving standing water that could compromise your wood work surface. Angled worktop draining boards and built-in drainage grooves are both smart solutions. Don’t bother with the routing and adding the piece. If it’s going to do anything that won’t make any difference.

I decided to go with Boos oil & cream. I put 2 HEAVY applications of Boos oil on every surface of the board using a foam brush. That took about 36 hours to fully soak in. I then wiped off the light residual oil left on the surface. As I noted in reply 5, the Kohler laminated cutting board is always falling apart so I decided to make one from solid walnut. We have less kids living at home now and reconfigured kitchen. We kept the Belfast sink with no draining board.

The glues in most plywoods don't stand up to water over time and will begin to degrade, leading to delamination of the plywood layers. To complement worktops in a traditional kitchen setting, consider a ceramic angled drainer. This ceramic angled drainer is designed to sit directly on any work surface, though is particularly well-suited for protecting a wooden worktop.

New sink is coming into new kitchen next week - living the dream with a double butler sink and no draining board. It's 3 ~19mm boards making up the width. 3 years on and there's only the slightest of cupping with 2 stretchers screwed in underneath. Expansion across the way has been surprisingly non existent (mitred corners are still nice and tight). It's ash, which was completely the wrong wood to use, but it's what I had at the time and it was just an experiment born from necessity... so no biggy.
