I have a three panel wood framed screen about 100 yrs old:

The wood and hardware are in good shape. The problem is the cardboard panels are shot. I tried to wood putty and sand over the rough spots but as you can see they are in pretty bad shape. I have decided to replace them, but with what? Each panel is 66" x 18" and a little more than 1/4" thick. The grooves in the frame are 5/16". I have already purchased the wallpaper I was going to recover them with so it needs to be a material that will except wallpaper. My first thought was 1/4" Baltic Birch but I think the 66" dimension rules that out. I can always buy crappy 4 x 8 1/4" ply at the big box stores but was wondering if there wasn't something better than that? Any ideas, guys?

I had a good day. I used every tool I own!
