Advice for tiling a wood surround

[chipnchop]

Hi, I have to make a small surround to fit on a worktop that will hide all the boiler pipes, a kind of 'U' shaped thing when on its side, dimensiones are approx. 400mm long, 120mm deep and about 220mm high.
Was thinking of making it out of wood with a base to stop any movement and tiling with 100x100mm tiles to match that of the back kitchen walls. Can anyone suggest the best way to go about it, best type of wood, adhesive to be used etc. It would be moveable so as to allow access to pipes when required, any help much appreciated. Thanks.

Cover it in plaster board...or backer board...you will get abetter fix and less suspect to expanding and pushing tiles off..
