I managed to get a whopping 3 hours shop time today. I prepped 25 sets of blanks and managed to turn 6 pens. The jury is still out on the top pen in the photo. I am not sure whether I like it ot not - it is growing on me though. I didn't have enough of the blue/white acrylic to make 4 pens so I made the bottom of one with a piece of Gongola-Alves. The bottom 2 are corian variations of slim line kits.

Cool looking Pens. I like the blue/white acrylic and red ones the bestest!!

Question, how do you clamp your corian when it is sliced so small? is it predrilled or do you cut slices then drill it later? OR do you do something else??

I stack/glue the slices first - clamp overnight and then drill for the tubes.
