Carving Corian

Corian makes great pens if you have a lathe.

But the sample squares are all like 1/2” x 2” x 2”. Stubby pens maybe? lol ..Hey might could stack em.

I’ve seen some nice corian turnings. The carvings are cool.

I didn’t realize that corian could be carved like this. Could it be scrimshawn also?

This opens up a new door to me for artistic expression and inlay work! Thanks for posting.

I wonder if my dentist knows about this stuff. Might save me some money on the next bridge.

I carved up all my old out dated samples also, I didn’t think of beads, but you sure sparked my wifes interest, since she makes jewelery.

There was an article in one of the carving mags about carving PVC looked very interesting. I just picked some scrap up from a job I was on where they were trimming the windows with it, thought I would give it a try. It seems the carve real easy.

I end up with many pieces of scrap Corian from counter tops, sink cutouts etc… I use them everywhere, throats in my wood planes , small trays to for my water stones, neat stuff. But I had never thought to use it in this way. I really like this!
