We may have to go with regular bead board panels applied over plywood. It has been done with great results on numerous boats before. But I liked the subtle depth the tongue and groove added to the field of white. Plus, I think it would be easier to clean being the grooves are realatively 'open' when compared to bead board. Cutting our own grooves the into the furniture surface is not impossible, it's just too time consuming and the possiblilty of making a mistake is higher than I would like to deal with.
