I've inherited a 18"x 18", 7/4 board. No info about origin or when it was cut or species or anything. I live in Hawaii so I'm assuming it is something local. Looks mahagony-esque.

The wood seems to have a lot of checks in it.
Any advice on how to best make use of the wood? A solid cutting board? Mill it up into small pieces and then glue them back together? Epoxy the whole thing to stabilize? Mill and resaw into thinner stock so I can make a box?
Are any of these ill-advised given the checks?

thanks

p.s. I don't have a moisture reader
