Don't ask me. I use glue.
I mentioned sliding dovetails:
A. Because I was being a smart ass.
B. Because that made slightly more sense than suggesting he used foxed wedged
tennons for each piece. Hell, maybe he just drills holes all the way through
and assembles them with some quarter inch all thread. What else would you
expect from a guy who uses his website as his handle here?
C. All of the above

Quality epoxy and filler to make repairs will cost more than new maple
to make a new board.
I'd use the existing board to make maple chips for smoking meats and
get on with it.

You didn't "splain" there was sentiment involved.
Why not retire it, hang it on the wall to admire and get a new one for
everyday use?

Nor use glue???
Cutting boards are traditionally laminated from strips of hardwood. Glue is
used to hold the hardwood strips together. Otherwise you would need a piece
of wood that is very wide. And that would lead to super cupping and
warping.
Unless, of course, you have a secret solution that would prevent said
cupping and warping.

How's he assemble them, then? It'd be really difficult to join tight
sliding dovetails of any real length. Does he use oil?

Thank you all for the thoughts and insights.
Surprisingly, the wood has some 'sentimental' value. Comes from a tree
in the back yard. So I don't want to trash it.
I'm going to do the rout-out and plug option.

Well, what can I say?
A suprise, a great honour, I want to thank you all.

Cracks, holes, deep grooves, anything that can harbor bacteria will
make a cutting board unsafe to use. All kinds of nasties can grow in
a hole or crack, and they can't be easily cleaned out.
Better safe than sorry. Get/make a new cutting board. Unless you are
looking for a project, they are so cheap these days at discount stores
they aren't worth making, and easy enough to replace.

Wood cutting boards do not harbor bacteria. Just the opposite, they are safer

of Wisconsin did a test and the wood boards were more sanitary than one would
think And if done correctly end grain cutting board cracks can be repaired
easily. Been building them for many years.

There ya go!

Why not rout out and plug the knot?
Use same wood as a match.

How about drilling out the knots and replacing them with maple plugs?
Epoxy.

I believe there was a thread about work-bench dog holes earlier.
Perhaps a multi-usage for it?

There is no filler which will move with the wood as it gets wet and dry.
Only maple is a suitable material for repairing a maple board. Let in a
piece of wood.
