Looks like a fun project and a good challenge to your WW/design skills.

I blew up the page and it looks like in the painting the band is applied like a
Shaker box side.  I suggest steam bent Maple as a good choice here. You will
need a piece of relatively straight grained material about 4 1/2 feet long.Good
luck on finding that in your scrap pile. I am wondering though why it could not
be made of several smaller pieces. After all, it simply needs to overlap at the
ends and get tacked to the edge of the top. Pics please, when done.
