As someone who builds cedar strip and planked boats I vote for wood if you want that. Use 4oz fiberglass cloth used for boats, it has a tight weave and will disappear when the epoxy is applied. The glass comes 60" wide and any length you want. If you use a slow cure hardener you can get all the bubbles out before it hardens. It makes a mess so put down plastic before you start. West Systems sells all the materials you need. You will end up with the wood sealed and won't have to worry about it. You will need to use a spar varnish on it after the epoxy for uv protection, but that will add to the beauty of the wood.
One more thing, make sure the glass is shipped rolled and never fold it. It is almost impossible to get the creases out once they are there.
