Thanks for all the great info and ideas, we never had anything fall off
the back of the stove, so this shelf mounted to the wall would be much

Reaching across a stove top with burners on is nuts anyway. Would not
happen in my house. I value my (and mywife's) skin too much to risk such a
thing. But don't let me stop you.

I'd use a polyurethane and let it cure for a week or so before subjecting it
to the heat and vapor
