RuvatiRVA1217 Solid Wood 17 inch Cutting Board

I ordered this replacement cutting board after inadvertently damaging the one that originally came with my Ruvati 60/40 deep stainless steel sink (my fault). Upon receiving, I noticed the design of this cutting board was slightly different from the one that originally came as an accessory with my sink. The new cutting board had a dado cut along the short edges so sits slightly lower than the original so helps keep water off the countertop. The overhang around my sink caused the original cutting board to fit way to tight which I had corrected by sanding the ends of the board (this issue was also not the fault of Ruvati but my countertop installer). This newly designed cutting board fits perfectly even with the overhang left by the countertop install. Also looks great. Below are a few things I've learned that help keep my Ruvati cutting board functional and looking great:1. Do NOT leave the cutting board laying in water. This is the mistake I made that ruined my original cutting board. Any wooden cutting board will swell, warp, discolor, etc., if left soaking in water for an extended period.2. Condition your cutting board with food grade mineral oil or vegetable oil upon receipt and periodically thereafter (a few drops applied with a paper towel on each side will do). I prefer food grade mineral oil but Ruvati advises that either will work.3. Wash your cutting board after each use with mild soap (dish soap), but be sure to rinse with clean water and let air dry in a horizonal position.4. Do NOT put your cutting board in the dishwasher.5. Any wooden cutting board will develop some knife marks after you use it a while. This is not a big issue and is normal. Keeping your board conditioned with oil will keep your wooden cutting looking and working great.P.S. I love my new Ruvati deep 60/40 sink. One of the best upgrades I've made to my kitchen thus far.

This item did not fit even tho order specifically to my sink. My husband had to cut notches in back of cutting board (like my original board had) to fit into place and slide on sink edge.

Product was exactly as described and arrived quickly and in perfect condition.
