I was trying to figure out how to make a counter for 12" cabinets without driving 2.5 hours to IKEA or settling for the ugly prefab things at Home Depot. I modified your idea a little since I didn't have plywood to nail in to but I found that 2 1x4 with a 1x6 in the middle fits perfectly on the 12" cabinets with a nice lip.
