Recently I changed the way I manage cutting boards. I keep one plastic board for meat and one plastic board for everything else. Meat usually takes a lot more cutting to get the job done, so it gets beat up fairly quickly. Both plastic ones go in the dishwasher. I don't generally worry about stains, the dishwasher gets most of the stains off ... I am the only one to ever see them anyway.

I do have a wood cutting board. It was made by one of my children as a woodshop project. It is inch wide inch thick pieces 4 of dark wood and 4 of light wood, 10 inches long, and glued together to form a 8 x 10 inch cutting board with an ornate routered edge. Unfortunately, the quality of a junior woodworker means the laminating job was ... er ... the result of a junior woodworker working a project for the first time. Shortly, we had a 5 x 10 board and a 3 x 10 board. I 'lost' the 3 x 10 board but still have the 5 x 10. It is the semi-official bread board. All bread that gets sliced gets sliced on the wooden cutting board.

Ring the doorbell and run ... he hates that.
