No cupping at all. The only surface treatment is a good soaking with oil from sunflower seeds about once a year. Recently a glue line at one of the long edge has started to open up ever so slightly. That's it.

The ones I saw with boards glued up did not alternate the grain (right side up, then upside down, etc...). So I don’t see that much of an advantage in the glue up

New sink is coming into new kitchen next week - living the dream with a double butler sink and no draining board. 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. 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.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. No mess - wooden drainer is equipped with a drip groove to stop water running under the draining board. Everything goes in the dw here so if I had my way I’d have a tiny under mounted sink as I only really need to fill the kettle & wash fruit in it.

It would be much preferable to make a piece like this from solid wood. 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. I have been spending TOO MUCH time reading about this subject. I am going to go ahead with this one piece of wood and see what happens. Worst case, if it cupps (hopefully on the bottom, I will plane it down, and give it to someone in the family and start again. In terms of finish, the only sure way to waterproof wood is with a good film finish. While epoxy finishes, such as used in marine applications, are absolutely waterproof common interior varnish is actually surprisingly water-resistant. So a good coat of oil-based polyurethane (not thin, no pinholes or missed spots, paying particular attention to cut edges) will provide quite reliable long-term waterproofing.

Each of our maple cutting boards are cut from a single piece of wood, which means there are no glue seams." Thank you so much for all your advice - looks like it will be fun anyways - why do I get all the good jobs!!! This Belfast sink drainer model also is equipped with rubber pads so your worktop is protected from scratches. Yes but I don't know what it is for and I don't use it except for piling more stuff on as in current kitchen there isn't enough worktop. 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.Large Teak Self Draining Soap Dish For Use in Shower Rooms Laundry Room or Kitchen, Handmade Soap Tray, Sustainable Living 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. Having a means to keep itself in place and draining over the edge of the basin courtesy of the hooks at the front. Also the work surface is edged in the same wood & that looks to be the same - so I presume that I need to treat that the same. To keep the all-natural look flowing throughout your kitchen, you might like to add an angled drainer made from wood. Like this beautiful design from

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.Gallery board, stand, giclee print, art board, hand crafted, solid oiled oak, framed room art, house, home, office, work, fine art, 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. 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. Thanks for that woodyoulike - there is only 1 small patch around each tap - like you say - not surprising really! 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.
