I love how the plywood gives the handle texture.
I was going to paint it first but decided against it. Should probably still seal it with something or it'll look dirty real quick.
A layer of matte poly on the wood and metal would keep it nice for a while. Don’t want rust streaks on the fridge if it gets humid.
