white material

[ahoiberg]

can anybody recommend a nice material to make a classy lookin' white pen? i'm looking more for acrylic or some sort of non-wood material. i've tried holly and like it, i'm just searching for a different look.

thanks!

Send an email to Ed4copies. He has some killer White Pearl, gorgeous stuff.[]

Woodbin has some nice crushed white acrylic.

Look for white Corian.....

...also from Ed4copies is the fake ivory, I think it is less 'in -your-face' than the bright white acrylics.

The White Acrylic. There is a white acrylic available from others, this is NOT the same stuff. And, I can sell it in small slabs to go with the pen.

Just a few ideas.[][]

White Corian is very nice and very easy to turn. I have ben geting it free from a couple of coun tertop installers

I just turned 2 pens with alternate ivory today, they look nice, but it tends to crack. Next time I'll stay with acrylic.
