Corian pen holding beaker.
Last time I visited my Corian supplier I was able to obtain some yellow off cuts. This allowed me to make a Christmas present in the Richmond footy club colours for a mad tiger fan.
So I made a pen holding beaker for her. A bit more complicated then my normal turning as it required a 9 pieces of black Corian to be glued together and when cured cutting diagonal on the TS and glueing in a yellow piece for the famous yellow stripe.
Finish is sanding with Micro mesh and then buffing on my buffing lathe.
Here are some photos:

Looking good Peter
You will have to make some matching pens using the black and yellow Corian, it makes good pen blanks.

Fred, the first pen I made was a Corian slimline in Collingwood colours, with thin black and white stripes, also as a present.
I had so much trouble with the laminated thin strips that It took 4 tries before I got it right. Making a slimline in a solid colour is bad enough as the Corian is only 12 mm thick and trying to make one with a diagonal yellow stripe is worse but I might give it a go.
I seem to like the more difficult things, maybe I should try to make a one piece pen in slimline. I'll have to do a search for a tutorial on that.
Peter.
