Dan,
I don't think there is any really easy way to wrap veneer around this size dowel. Doesn't mean it cant be done, just not so easily.
With that said, the most difficult part is getting the return seam to meet, provided you require that.
I would probably soak the veneer, wrap it around the dowel and then wrap newspaper over it to wick away the water/softening solution. Keep changing the newspaper until the veneer is dry. This way the veneer should roughly hold the shape making it much easier to cut through both layers to get a good seam and will make gluing it onto the dowel much easier.
Personally if I had a choice I would turn a dowel out of the chosen wood like Brian said, way easier.
Sincerely
Darryl Keil
