Put a 1/8 strip of a differently colored wood between

Or make them the new edge boards

Making them the new edge boards wouldn't really help anything, in order to prevent blow out while planing the surface I put a chamfer around the outer edges with a block plane. To get rid of that I'd have to joint off about 1/16" from each side anyway. 1/16" isn't visually much over 1 3/4"
