If you wanted to have a veneer of suede or leather, you could use the following pattern (illustrated below) and simply glue the fabric/leather to the wood. I would use oak, which also comes in 3/8 in.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'm not looking to match the depth of the original pad, though, as this is going onto a flat surface. I'd therefore be looking for some aluminum trim/channel that is significantly shallower (like the eBay one I linked to).
