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

Product Information

Large Teak Self Draining Soap Dish For Use in Shower Rooms Laundry Room or Kitchen, Handmade Soap Tray, Sustainable Living Solid Oak draining board for a belfast/butler sink For Qaulity all Our Oak boards are screwed and glued with oak dowels to cover not nailed 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. I suggest you do laminate the boards and try to orient the grain to minimize expansion/contraction issues. The main challenge with this is going to be preventing cupping.

This finest quality wooden draining board is made from solid top quality oak wood - oak is the hardest wood - that means your drainer will last long. 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. Right Hand Side Large Solid Pine Draining Board for a belfast/butler sink medium brown lacquer semi matt finish 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.In this top view the Kohler product is already missing the lower LH radius and there are about 10 different places where the strips are starting to delaminate. This will last maybe another 6 months. Thank you for the picture and recommendations. The ones made in the UK that I have seen use a new finish that they call Diamond Coating, that they say works fantastic. It uses a catalyst, so maybe it’s a conversion varnish. Thanks for that woodyoulike - there is only 1 small patch around each tap - like you say - not surprising really! The people who we bought the house of did not leave me any instructions on how to maintain it but did leave some danish oil under the sink. It looks to me like they have put a coat of polyurethane over the top of whatever was there as there are patchy bits and some uneven bits.

Chopping Board Carving Board Vintage French Hardwood Large Board 1960s With Draining Channels Length 46 cm x 25 cm or 18 x 10 Inches 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. As I noted in reply 5, the Kohler laminated cutting board is always falling apart so I decided to make one from solid walnut.
