my first scalloped pen

[elody21]

This is my first try at a scalloped pen. I have so much corian I really wanted to be able to use it in a new way.
I used 3 colors, Sandal Wood, Dawn Beige and solid black.
the pen is a Black ty finish Barron.
I happened to have some black Veneer so I tried it and it worked really well.

My second angled segmented pen

On the 23rd, I posted my first pen with angled segments, this one has a metal (I thought aluminum, but, now may be galvanized steel by accident) separator. Thoughts and comments, and yes, I can handle critiques, please.

And what is the metal please??

Hi,
I just got back on the site this morning.
Corian is cut with normal wood cutting blades. A plywood blade works the best but is not necessary. Using a table saw cuts better than a band saw.

Corian turns about the same as a maple hardwood and MUCH easier that Tru stone.
. With a sharp tool and small bites it is very enjoyable to turn and can be glued with med CA glue.
You cannot beat the variety of colors.
