I built it out of 3/4" plywood, so I used shoe molding to cover the edges of the plywood on the top and bottom.Nice work, are those beveled edged on the base?

Nice work. I like the finish. What brand/color is that?
The stain? I don't recall off the top of my head; I can see if I have any leftover in the garage if I remember when I get home. Something from Home Depot.
Thanks I will have to remember that for the future. It reminded me of the finish I used for my cedar deck which is harder to get (online only) and a bit more expensive $40 per gal plus shipping . I think 3 gals cost me $140.After a garage audit I believe the one I used on the hutch is Behr Premium Wood Coatings Transparent Weather Proofing All-In-One Wood Finish, Cedar Naturaltone No. 501.
It's not the only leftover I found but I'm pretty sure that's the right one.

This stuff is really good. A lot of smart engineering went into making this. I was sold when I called their contact number and spoke to a gentleman who was one of their product engineers. We were on the phone for about 30 minutes. He asked me all sort of questions about my project and gave me great advice. I used this on a red cedar deck (I'll get some pics up when the 18" of snow that feel on it melts).
I had previously use another wood stain made by Sikkens (consumer reports "best stuff on the planet") @ $70/gal. Was never supposed to peel and would last 3-5 years. Yeah right. I spent $350 on this stuff only to have it peel after 2 years. I had to strip by entire deck including rails and went with the Armstrong Clark stain.
Every year I spot sand and stain a few small areas, but other than that, no peeling, minimal fading, and I put it down with a sponge.
Easy peazy, lemon squeezy!
IDK but it was not fun, that much I can tell you. I'm sure I lost at least a year of my life from exposure to the "stripping chemicals" I had to use to get all of the stuff off and ready for the Armstrong stain I used.Maybe the other stuff was supposed to peel in 3-5 years Canadian?
