wood right next to a sink area would be crazy.
You can do it but it requires careful design.
Issue with this one we’ve inherited is that the tap exit is too high so you get a lot of splashing with even a dribble of water.
Also routing a draining board in to it is proper madness.

I wouldn’t bother starting from new, but you’ve done a great job rehabbing the thing.

In our defence, we do have a dishwasher.
The worktop has been in about 6.5 years now. I oil it about twice a year. It's a bit battered but held up better than the mastic and grout (because I'm crap at masticing and grouting)
Your refinish looks great.

Always wanted to do that with a bathrooom.
We've had wood countertops for almost 5 years, no issues yet.
Our sink area is an integrated porcelain on steel unit from the 30s that has drainboards on both sides - wood right next to a sink area would be crazy.
