WWYD with this?

Rosa_Damascena

My wooden chopping board has been through the DW one time too many, the adhesive couldn't win. Now I have had this for maybe 20 years and I can see it won't be long before the other joins go....I don't feel attached to it, but I would like to think it could be repurposed in some way? (Such is the difficulty I have getting rid of things!!). WWYD?

If you are handy. Drill some holes & use dowels to hold it together.

Not particularly, and have lots of chopping boards. I was hoping to avoid it being used as fuel.

I'd be using it in a craft/DIY space where I might need to be chopping/slicing away at something but didn't want to ruin the surface below.  I've done this with the silicone type cutting boards that eventually warp too much to flatten for use.  They can be used for cutting matts for framing pictures or used in the greenhouse to help me deal with the compost I inevitably spill.

It goes in the box of bits of wood that may come in handy one day. Then in a few decades time it will be thrown away.

I think I'm going to save it for crafting as @Brie helpfully suggested.

Give it to somebody with a wood burner or bin it.

Wooden chopping boards shouldn't really go in a dish washer. Just give them a wipe with a damp cloth. If you are slicing up fish or meat, use a plastic chopping board that can go in the DW.

My thoughts exactly. Wooden items are not suitable for dishwashers, or even soaking in water. 

Same goes for ‘bone’ handled knives. I’ve still got 3 or 4 which must be well over 70 years old

I do know that - I'd chopped up some spring onions on it which was a silly thing to do (I normally use my marble board for this purpose) and wanted to get it extra clean. Once I'd put it in there once I was so impressed by its newly-found "blondness" its been in there maybe 4 times now?
