My old bosses father-in-law was a roofer by trade.
When it came time to “tile the shower,” he used roofing shingles. He figured that his roofs didn’t leak and the pitch of the walls was plenty steep. He had the materials on hand…why not?
At least he used cedar instead of asphalt.
That shower always gave the company something to talk about.

I've seen that look and really liked it, but it was on outdoor showers. I love outdoor showers.... nothing like coming off the beach washing off before you even head inside.
Inside.... I dunno. It would depend on the style of the house... would either look perfectly natural or stick out like a big red azz.
At first I thought you were talking about a roof done in Pro 30's or something! Now that would be quite..... industrial looking!!
I know of a mason friend of mine that used left over stone to do his shower....looked awesome!

Any time I see a shower (indoors) lined with anything like wood, marble, rocks or anything that isn't hard and smooth like tile or glass, I figure it was designed by someone who never had to clean a regularly-used shower.

I always find it interesting when someone applies their specialty to some unique use. After all, there are tile roofs so why not shingled showers?
I do agree that the outdoor shower is the best application of the cedar shingle shower.
Do you know any other trades people that applied their trade with bizzare results?
I'm not a plumber, but I did build a cool chess set out of pipe fittings with a 4x4 ceramic tile chess board.
