Made these over the weekend. All are solid surface counter materials. All but the last one are mostly Corian but some might be Wilsonart. All are finished with MM to 12000.

LtoR: No. 1-5 are spec pens, No. 6 is a commissioned pen.
1. -Black Titanium Slimline dressed in Wilsonart Northern Melange(or Corian Platinum, not sure which)
2. -Chrome Streamline dressed as above
3. -Black Titanium Streamline dressed in Corian Coco Brown
4. -Titanium Gold dressed in Corian Sandstone
5. -Titanium Gold dressed in Corian Savannah
6. -Chrome Slimline Pro Dressed in a Woodcraft "Psycho" Blank.

Roger/Jim, thanks guys. I like turning the material, it doesn't turn much different then wood but is already finished once it is turned, all that is left is polishing.:D

James,

Is this the color of your pen number 3?

Keith it sure looks close, thanks, lacking another name for it that's what I will call it.

JD I like those. Do you glue up 1/2" stock or do you start with thicker material? I have some 1/2" material I'd like to try.

Thanks Bill. No glue ups, I just drill the 1/2" material(actual thickness is just over 0.4") very carefully making sure my drill press table is square to the press and I use a cross slide vise for positioning and holding the blank.
