removing nasty old cigarette smells from wood

argh! Is there any way I can get rid of the horrible nicotine/ciggy smells from a wooden bread board? It belonged to my Grandma, and has been at my mum's house for years. She's a heavy smoker, and we all know that nicotine is the best adhesive known to mankind...

I've already soaked it in a solution of Miltons for about 6 hours, and had a go with bicarb on a damp cloth, and it still absolutely stinks.

Any ideas? Or is Granny's bread board doomed?

Thanks in advance

A breadboard, are you serious What on earth did she use it for, my mind is boggling with the possibilities.

How about a new one to go with the new box of tea bags?

Family heirloom, Eddie.

I was left a satinwood chest of drawers impregnated with the smell of roast lamb fat and cat's fish.

(sponge dampened with warm water + washing-up liquid seemed to help).

I got one of those as well, except mine was called a squint!
