Thanks Bansil
My grandfather taught me how to work with wood as he was a carpenter, I had him in my heart as I made the cabinets and side walls to look like those in his house, kind of my tribute to him.

I used Cabot stain and sealer and the color is Cayenne, per the wife's idea to have a red color for the counter top. I think she had a really good idea, red compliments the green.

I did it all myself, it is difficult to explain to others around me who know nothing about wood working what I have in mind to do, so I don't ask. Thanks

I thought red would be nice for HOT and blue for COLD, now if I can find a roadside hot water heater to hookup to.
