Glen IMHO Corian pens fly out of my top pocket there are so many design patterns in this material. Stressing on what to make a pen try the test mix pens from other things like eg timber and other plastics when making a gift watch and listen you may be surprised at the high praise and acceptance. My worry was always in making using the only available to me 1/2 inch sheets was drilling the 7mm hole centrally.
Praise due and given for yours.
