I am refinishing a sliding panel that closes off the cabin on a Carver yacht. The “wood” in the pic doesn’t sand like wood nor does it take stain. It has a smooth finish. The trim wood is teak and looks beautiful. I need help on identIfying it and advice on what to do. Help!

IMHO that's some kind of composite. If it HAD wood grain on it, it was probably some kind of overlay. I'm almost certain that's NOT wood.

Looks like melamine to me, they carry the same patterns around here at the cabinet shops.
