    WOW! That is a beauty, Chris.

    Are you keeping that one for yourself? Nice work. Any particular tricks/tips on puting that type of thing together?
    Thanks & enjoy.

    John,

    Here are some threads I generated on segmented pens (both wooden and Corian):

    Here is a pdf file explaining the process which was written by Kenn Osbourne:

    They look like quilts.

    Would they sell at a quilt shop?

    Nice work!
    Maybe you already know about this, but I stumbled across this a while back.
    You can order 4x4 ($2) or 2x2" ($1) samples of any color Corian made. Might come in handy.

    i have been getting my corian from a friend who does cabinet work for a living that also installs corian ( and other brands) countertops

    recently he gave me a 6' x18" piece of green along with a bunch of other colors

    your best bet to get stuff for free is find out if anyone in your area installs them and see if they have any scraps

    What sort of glue do you use to glue up for Corian? I have epoxy, CA and Titebond II for glueing brass tubes. Will one or any of those work or do I need something special??

    Thanks.
