Kitchen slide-out cutting board

[Bob10]

Hey friends,

A family member needs to replace a worn-out kitchen cutting board.  It’s one of those that slides out from below the coutertop.  The original is made of 3/4” plywood of some sort and is about 2’ deep by 3’ wide with solid wood front lip/handle.

Have any of you replaced one of these?  Mainly, I’m asking about the type of material you used - solid wood like maple, or a plywood material again?  

I would be comfortable making a solid wood panel but I’m a little concerned about keeping it flat across a 3’ width.

Thanks,
Dave

I have replaced a few and put back ply just like it was without any problems.  I have also flipped a few over to use the opposite face
