I have the shelf made and coloured properly to match cabinets,

to use for a clear coat? Poly, varnish, shellac or ?

Are you opposed to formica?

It just might clash with the granite counter top. :-)

Seriously, my wife suggested tonight just painting it white, which
would blend in with the ceramics between the granite and the

polish the edge with wet/dry sandpaper.
