Breadboard end on a cutting board

[lshah72414]

I know this subject has been talked about before. I couldn't find if it also covered cutting boards. I have only seen it for table tops.  I just glued up a breadboard end on a maple cutting board I made for a friend out of scrap maple I had.  I placed four 6mm x 40 dominoes in the end, I glued all four into main portion of cutting board, glued the middle two on the smaller side and pinned with 6 mm dowels the outside two dominoes. No glue except for the middle  two dominoes and in between them.
Now I have got to thinking, this will be washed with soap and water contstantly, possibly left in water to soak, and maybe even put in the dishwasher.  Is this going to fall apart quickly because I didn't glue up the whole thing? Thank you for your help, apologize for my lack of experience.

It shouldn't, assuming you've used a waterproof glue, but soaking or putting it in dishwasher is probably not a good idea anyway.
I built a cutting surface as part of my kitchen counter, it's a 4/4 Maple glue up with 6/4 breadboard ends forming the front and rear of the counter surface. The breadboard ends are pinned with dowels going through a slot. I made it about 6 years ago, it gets cleaned daily with soap and water, sometimes multiple times, depending on what's cooking. It has stayed together fine. As it is the functional counter top for that section of cabinetry, it doesn't get removed, so soaking isn't something it has to withstand, but often we're not stingy with the water used in cleaning it. The glue joints are as good as ever.

The breadboard ends will probably be ok. BUT tell your friend that it should NEVER be run through the dishwasher and should NEVER be allowed to soak in water.  It’s a piece of wood, such treatment will prematurely destroy it.

They can wash it off and DRY it. Treat it with plain old mineral oil.
