Problem has been solved by Aldis stocking slate ones at £5.99 - very basic but a good pro-tem solution at that price.

Can someone come up with a DIY material for sealing it? I've googled on the topic and only find commercial items that would cost more than the original purchase. I've got various waxes and oils associated with wood turning.

Liquid paraffin maybe (the "BP" stuff you can, or at least could, get
from a pharmacy for constipation). It's food-grade and is recommended
for otherwise-unsealed wooden plates, bowls etc.
