Why not just buy a new cutting board? I don't see any reason or

That's just to simple and low cost.

My mother is still using the Mahogany and Maple one I made in the late
70's. I think it's a full inch thick. She doesn't even remember or care
that I made it, but I enjoy seeing it still in use when I visit.

I'll bet she remembers. I'm using a board my dad cut for my sister
who painted a design on the back. It was a mother's day present in
the early 60's. The design is nearly gone-- but sis burned her
initials in it. I should probably wrap it up and give it one of her
grandchildren. Nah-- I like it.
