He wanted a big cutting board with juice drainage in the center which is why it has the "X" in it. Not 100% happy with it, but it's good enough.

Honest question: How do you go about cleaning/caring for a large wooden board like this after daily use? I have a petty large butcher block board (nowhere near as nice as this one) that barely fits into my sink - but I’m able to clean it with the detachable sink nozzle. But I still find myself placing a smaller plastic board on top of it 95% just because it’s waaay easier to clean.

I just rinse immediately and try to brush off any dirt. Sometimes you have to oil it.

I think he means where do you rinse it if it fit in the sink.

Right. Otherwise what, just like wipe it with a wet paper towel? Idk if that would do the trick a lot of the time.

Wet scrubby sponge with dish soap and then a dishtowel

I put the thin end in my sink and use the detachable nozzle to spray it. It's pretty easy for me, but I have a pretty big sink.
