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

Product Information

There is a wide array of plastic angled drainers on the market, and they come in a variety of styles and sizes. Whatever style you decide on, these drainers are designed to allow water to collect beneath the items you have been washing up and easily drain away. Usually, there is a narrow spout at the base, to channel any excess water directly into the sink. I really like the way the combination performs. The oil is just a refined mineral oil and using it alone, it leaves a very oily surface behind. The cream is a combination of oil and bees wax and it imparts a very nice finish to the wood. No mess - wooden drainer is equipped with a drip groove to stop water running under the draining board.

The main challenge with this is going to be preventing cupping.

I would recommend against using plywood for this application. 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.Kohler produces this cutting board to accessorize their sinks. However, this is the 3rd cutting board I've gone through in the last 10 years. All the failures have been because of wood strip delamination. None of these cutting boards have been put into the dishwasher and none have been subjected to excessive exposure to water. When they're cleaned, they're wiped with a damp towel and then immediately wiped with a dry cotton towel. Notice the chunk missing from the LH side. While I was looking for an oil/wax product this morning to put on the new walnut cutting board, I happened across these folks in Kingston NY that produce custom made cutting boards. It was this sentence in particular that caught my attention. Traditional thinking would deem that the laminated wood strips would be your best defense against twisting and cupping. However, it's also not your best defense against individual strip delamination. So you say that I should rub down the whole thing - do I then use the Danish oil? Any do/don'ts with that - never used it before.

Thanks for that woodyoulike - there is only 1 small patch around each tap - like you say - not surprising really! We are getting a new kitchen and I can't decide if to have a sink & drainer or under mounted sink with no drainer?? Keep collections to yourself or inspire other shoppers!

Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections—they may also appear in recommendations and other places. My personal advice is to not use full width. If you look at cutting boards and other stuff like that, the real reason decades ago they were put together the way they were was to combat the whole cupping and expansion and contraction issues. 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.
