Blue Corian Jr Gent

[Jim in Oakville]

Hi,

I have been trying out some solid materials as well as woods on this design, here is a Sea Blue Corian. It turns and

polishes very nicely.

Yes...very nice. I have some Corian that I'm looking forward to turning. Jim, did you have to glue up the blank, or did you have some Corian that was thick enough as is?

Thanks Gary,

I had to glue it up, I used CA glue, the seam is invisible.

Thanks...that's what Alice suggested. It looks like the technique works great.

Hi Jake,

I get my Corian from a kitchen shop, it was in the scraps they throw out, check around where you live, Corian is a very popular solid surface in kitchens, it takes very litte to make a pen blank.

Jim: I have some corian of that very color.......pretty isn't it? I had the same question about gluing as none of my stuff is more than a half inch. I have been using it to make some pens for the FPP. The blue Corian does very nicely for the blue field of stars!!

Real nice pen, the color and kit go well together.

Nice job! Jake go to a cabinet shop that does counter tops. Offer to make them a pen and pencil set from the off fall. They can give this set to the customers that buy tops from them. They will keep you very well supplied. It will help a lot if you take a set with you when you go. If you don't have any solid surface material use wood. Most cabinet shop dudes are wood junkies. I know I was one, (still am)
