One approach is to use table or bar top epoxies, which can be built up several mm thick with successive coatings.
Look here and see if it is something you want to get into:

Read the data sheets.
There are many brands and they behave differently. Some have to be built up, some can be poured thick with a form around the edges.
The built up kind can be stopped when you feel the wood is sufficiently consolidated, and you can sand and finish after.
You can also color the epoxy to taste.
You will probably have to fill the back side and tape open seams. Epoxy has a way of finding drain holes.
