How can I fix my wooden chessboard?

A guest left a potatoe pancake on my 30+ year old chess board and the oil got into the wood... I have no experience with wood working and need help.

Job help

Quick sketch of my ideas. I am looking to build a floating computer desk with a pull out for the keyboard/mouse. Are there any reasonably priced $75) under mount slides that feature a push to open and lock in the fully extended position? Is there another DIY way to form a lock. I don’t want the keyboard platform to move when extended, but I also have a small space so I need it to be retractable. I’m expecting 10” of extension past the desk top. So slides would need to be 12” full extension. Second concern, how can I mount this, I should have 2 studs in the location. I was considering two L brackets to slot into the desk. Would a 5”x 10” bracket support the weight of a monitor/console, and the desk built out of oak ply (working surfaces) and pine or poplar (panted bottom structure)? Thanks for any help.

How would I cure this?

Hello everyone, I obtained this slice of southern live oak yesterday from our job site with the intention of making it into a small table. I was wondering how I would cure it or dry it properly to minimize the cracking and splitting. It’s nearly 4ft wide at the largest section, and 7 inches thick at the thickest part. And yes, all permits and permissions were obtained before it was professionally cut down. Thanks in advance.

Game board staining advice

First time working with wood. The board has many flaws but I am happy with it so far as a start. I am wondering I want to stain the top red and make the holes for marbles to fit in stained dark brown or black. Is this a possibility? How would I go about doing something like that?
