another option is to use veneer which you can cut into strips with a knife. some veneers are paper or cloth backed.

Do you see a difference between rotary cut and plane cut veneer? I think that rotary cut may curl/cup.

personally, i never used veneer i know model builders who have but i do not have any first hand experience. To explore the possible use of veneers i would suggest researching the art of marquetry.

The Holidays, the death of my computer workstation (the dreaded blue screen of death) and work on another art project has delayed work on the Sir Edward Hawke.
No worries everything should be back on schedule in a week or two.
