One may also ask, can you use a hand planer on a cutting board?
4 Answers. I had this idea that I would be able to run the hand plane over the surface of the (already smooth) cutting board and peel off whisper-thin shavings.

What does it mean when a board is bowed?
Uneven drying can make the edges or ends of a board curl up or bend sideways. Cupping occurs when the edges curl toward each other, and bowing occurs when the ends curl upward. A third type of warping is called crooking. It is similar to bowing, but the board tends to curl more toward one end than the other.
