Whilst it isn't to my taste, I admire the work and turning, finish is good too.:thumbs::thumbs:
I have to ask as to where you found a piece of Corian THAT big.....it's normally only 12mm square.....well done!

Well done Andrew.:thumbs: Corian is easy to turn & I don’t find it hard on the tools. The piece you have could be mistral which is approx 1 inch thick.
