Dean at Living Timbers in Penrith had some "give away" offcuts of small Camphor Laurel slabs.

They were about 30-35mm thick and big enough for serving boards, so I ripped the board in the bandsaw then put them through the thicknesser.
The best figure and colour was on the handle ends so I decided to not do a hole at that end.
Lots of sanding, filling with epoxy and Starbond CA the polishing with "Food Grade" Kustom Grit Step#1.

They came up okay and should do good.
Cheers Peter
