At the hardvare store they should also have a wood strip (it comes in a rool it is very thin real wood) all you do is cut to length, iron it on and trim the sides down with a razor. It would look very nice if you used an nice peice of plywood and this striping! I forget what it is called but I will try to find it online and give you a link. Or you could call a local cabinet makeing shop and they always have this stuff around.
