Hey guys, moved into a new house, officially a homeowner. Built a new bench in the basement. Got a couple sheets of formica on the way to cover it.
I was thinking about planing a 2x6 down and routering the bottom edge and staining so I would have a nice corner on the front edge of the bench all the way around. Then maybe a routered 1x4 on the top, for a backsplash. What do you think?

I don't know if I want pegboard or not, but definitely shelves in the corners at a 45* angle. Any and all ideas appreciated. Going with "blue storm" formica.
