Need some advice - trying to make end grain board with hand tools

So i’ve been slaving away trying to make this end grain cutting board with hand tools and have gotten one of the sides to be almost flat. I have a few issues and would like your opinion on how to fix:

  1. Pictures 1&2: Gaps. There are two noticeable gaps, the first image is the much larger one. Can i just shove some glue in there? Or do i have to cut it and reglue…
  2. Pictures 3&4: saw marks where i cut the strips unevenly. Are these dangerous to leave for food safety reasons? I can’t plane any more or my hands will fall off
  3. Pictures 5 is just an overall pic for context

Any tips would be greatly appreciated :)
