It's unlikely that the wood cladding would keep all the water away from the wall, no matter what finish you put on it, and water does so much damage I would be very reluctant to use it in a shower.
I think you have two options, take baths, or clad the cladding with something impervious to water. A cheaper option would be to get some acrylic sheet but if you want it to last a while and look good there are sheet materials made specifically for cladding showers which are now available from most bathroom showrooms. There are two main types, one a laminated plywood, and a plastic version with no core, I would think you would be better off with the plastic version. These aren't cheap but look good and you should be able to make a professional finish without too much work.
