I am sure it is just the stuff they sell in lowes, the thin sheets of finishing plywood. Stuff is about 1/8 inch thick. I watched them put it on at Ocea before, i want to say they wet it and bend it to fit. It is cool to watch them put it on, then you just stain/varnish.

You dampen the surface of the wood to raise the fine hairs up so you can sand them to get a better finish. That wood in the picture looks like birch or cherry. I know its not pine. You can get some nice looking veneer at homedepot or lowes.

Could always use bender board and cover it with a nice veneer, thats what they did at ocea I think.
