(Been there, done that, bought the T-shirt)
1] If you have sufficient slack in the length in the correct
dimension, probably
the most foolproof thing would be to cut off the, um,
"incorrectly-placed tails"
(and an appropriate length on the opposite board) and start again, ending up
with a slightly smaller- finished piece.
2] Option two, that I've tried in a similar situation: cleanup the saw-cuts
and insert/glue skinny shim-like slips of wood into the kerfs. If
you do a careful
enough job and you get the grain oriented correction, it should look
(reasonably) OK.
3] Less agreeable: If you come up with a not-too-good-looking, but
strong-enough solution,
always remember: Veneer is your friend.
Hope there's anything useful here.
