It’s looking a bit sad from all the use it gets. I have tried bees wax, that looked good only for a short time. Whatever is used on there needs to be food grade.
I'd first sand the cutting board, using progressively higher grit sandpaper to get it smooth and back to near its original color. A food grade oil is the most recommended thing to use on finishing off a cutting board.
The way I do mine, and they're butcher blocks, is to scrape the entire surface, with the grain, using the back of a large knife to get all the old gunk off. Then, wipe it clean and use only MINERAL OIL! Don't use olive or any vegetable oils! They'll turn rancid. I have a large one, which was the top of my portable dishwasher from the early 1960s, and it's still in great shape!
