Spoken by someone who doesn't know woodworking. Do your research or talk to an experienced woodworker. Wood glue along parallel grains done correctly with the flush edge glue joints can mimic the internal bonding of wood fibers so well that attempting to snap apart two boards edge glued together will cause the wood to break before the joint does.
A solid single slab of wood if it is not large enough will cup and warp. Endgrain boards with the alternate grains glued together negate this action so can be more stable without needing to be very large
For these heavy wooden cutting boards, its recommended to simply wipe it, and to sanitize, use a spray bottle with a vinegar/water solution. These high quality wooden boards are naturally antibacterial so vinegar takes care of it. For a more deep clean, which is only needed maybe once a week or once every other week or so, you can give it a little soapy wash, let it dry, and then use vinegar, some baking soda, and a lemon or so to scrub the surface, wash it off, and let if fully dry. You should also oil it periodically with food safe mineral oil to give it a good seal. There are plenty of youtube videos you can use as a guide as well If you take good care of the board it should last you a really long time!
Could you please share how is your experience in washing it? It is big and bulky. Not the easiest to handwash. I hate plastic and have almost none in my kitchen except Pyrex and snapware lids. But my cutting boards are plastic because they're easy to throw in the dishwasher and they come out super clean. But I feel awful about the microplastics I'm adding to my family's meals. Thanks and repped you.

So then, frankly, how do you daily wash it when it is so heavy and large? We have a typical large 2 partition sink. But this is still too unwieldy. Thanks and reps.
Edit: We are vegetarians and regularly cook elaborate vegetarian meals across cuisines. So the cutting board gets used a lot.
I also have a similarly huge heavy cutting board... I finally bit the bullet and got rid of my split sink and replaced it with a big single bowl. Best decision ever. I can finally wash the big stuff like the cutting board and large pots and pans.

Lucky you!

This is an excellent, large, heavy cutting board. It is awkward to try to wash in the sink if needed. I mostly keep some water with bleach to wipe down after using.

White vinegar to disinfect and beeswax/mineral oil to seal. I use a soapy sponge left over from dishes to wipe it, every week or so do the disinfect and whenever it starts seeming dry I use mineral oil heated by hot water to seal it. There is discussion ongoing about mineral oil, so if that changes things look for a beeswax mix. You don't have to worry about putting the whole thing in the sink, whatever you are doing will only hit the first centimeter or so of the board (seal all sides and bottom with the mineral oil/beeswax)
