Is it a capybara with a human-head rear end or a man with a capybara body?

Pic 3 is what I can only assume is a Santa but I’ll accept alternate interpretations.

Full disclosure, I’m not affiliated with the business, just saw his stuff at an art fair and I’m still kicking myself for not buying something. I’ve never seen anything like his portfolio, but please let me know if there are other woodworkers with this style!

This is the bottom of my mom's cutting board. It’s in bad shape: there's some cracking and some black rot or mold from being wet and laid flat. FWIW it looks better when it’s dry.

I've used the lemon + salt scrub and then did a hydrogen peroxide scrub which reduced the black mold to how it appears above.

As for the crack, I don't have clamps and my mom doesn't want me to use glue, only an expert. So, I'm planning to do as much as I can to extend the board's life, and then employ a woodworker if necessary.

I'm planning to sand by hand with 120 grit (my mom refuses to let me use 80 grit 🥲) Should I disinfect again before sanding? The board was used post-disinfection but I cleaned it with dish soap. If yes, what kind of vinegar solution would I need to use to do this properly?

Is it harmful to sand a board with cracks in it?

Also, the divots in the wood on the sides are pretty deep. Cqn they be filled with glue or do they need to be completely sheared off?

Not to mention, there are handhold-holes on the sides and I have no idea how to clean the rot in them.

Any general advice would be helpful because the board has sentimental value. I really have no woodworking experience but I don't want to spend $150 on board surgery, I need a new hobby, and I’ve become hyper focused on this.

Tysm and sorry for the excessive questions.

(I have no idea who made the board or what it’s made of, apologies)

Where once it said “dance,” “indie,” “hyperpop,” now we have these cutesy phrases. Genres on liked songs are still normal and concise.

Of all the changes they could’ve made…. Who asked for this?

Edit: it’s on release radar/radio too.

“More discovery tracks,” “more indie vibes,” … what is the additional information being conveyed? What was confusing about “indie” that’s clarified?
