Well, if you can find vertical grain, air dried wood, it’s doable from natural lumber. Labor of love, starting with looking for it. Laminating also doable. 12 mm exotic wood marine grade ply practical. I learned that flat surface epoxy covering quite easy with scavenging cloth over wet resin. Peel away when set, easy to finish surface left. Free hand epoxy takes some skill, maddening to sand to a nice finish. Ed Sent from my iPhone

Marine plywood is a better choice. Solid wood can Warp, especial at the thinness needed for the companionway hatchboards. Teak veneer is nice but sapele is less expensive and close in color/look.
As others have written epoxy the edges. Finish the outer/inner sides to match existing teak.
