The boss would like me to make a wooden "splashback" for our utility room, for the space between the cabinets and the worktop. I'm not sure what the best method of construction is, given wood movement etc. It won't get wet where it is.
The wood will be olive wood, in some form of staves (or even parquet pattern), but I'm not sure what the best way to achieve this is.

My thoughts are
- Make some "engineered board", laminating the olive to ply and putting that on the wall (say 6mm ply, 4mm olive)
- As above, but make the olive as thin as I can (maybe 1.5/2mm). I can achieve this since I have a drum sander, but it'll take a while ... I could use thinner ply I think, with this method.
- Make a "floating" panel with the olive in 10mm thickness all glued together and then bonded to the wall with adhesive with some flex in it
