Back in the fall, I got 10 sets of corian pen blanks from Keith here at the Creek - it's a pretty good deal, 10 pre-cut and drilled for slim line corian blank sets in a variety of colors, shipped to you for just $25 (includes postage). Besides, it supports the Creek so I went ahead and got them.
I had turned one or two right after receipt and, like others, I've been caught up with work and life. I finally turned four more yesterday, and I think I like this corian stuff (other than sharpening a lot). It polishes up nicely with micromesh, and they seem indestructable - don't put this one in-between your teeth and start chewing as it is hard! I really like the black speckled one as it has a lot of depth in the color speckles if that makes any sense.
If you like penturning, want to support the Creek, and haven't tried corian, go give it a shot. Go to the main Creek page and click on the "SawMill Creek Store" tab for more information.
