Have only got gun metal kits left so will have to swop to making streamline stylus pens tomorrow. Here's todays haul which you are probably all fed up with me posting yet more corian pens, but thought you might like to see different colours.

I agree with Terry, that shape just looks inviting to pick up and use.

Of course the workmanship is what we'd expect, lovely looking finish on them.

Another thing added to the must try that list.

Bloody job is getting in the way of turning :sob:

Lovely pens :thumbs: but it does beg the question about folk's taste in the colour of their worktops :eeeeek:

Don't think I'd want to be finally dragged from the arms of Morpheus whilst making my early morning cuppa by a fluorescent coloured worktop :sleeping::shocking:

The most amazing part of Corian to me is the relative enormous to me cost of Corian as benchtop material especially as it marks so easily on the flat. Also a mate of mine stopped using it as a large turnover high class Kitchen manufacturer he had to be really carefull storing the large sheets of Corian if not fully flat in storage they buckle if its really hot and in situ where a room gets selective sun the colour will vary like bleaching:thumbs:. When penmaking notice how the pattern is cast in manufacture the detail is often varied top to bottom and when turned can be exciting or dull. Also he had to keep such a varity of coloured sheets and start and finish only from the one batch.

Kind regards Peter.
