Corian made by Du pont

it holds ink real well, i use it for my scrimshaw since im still evolving at it and its cheap, i did a pair of scales for my freeman folder, it works fine just a tad heavy and chips like crazy, comes in some very atrocious colors too:)
i just stick with the neutral tones

finished these two up for a friend last christmas the chipped edges were a happy accident, then again they arent knife handles:D

Ivan that scrimshaw work looks really good!

I love the ideas about knife handles and blocks matching the client's countertops. The same concept might work if they have nice wood cabinetry, too. I wish I had been making knives when my uncle had his own cabinet shop... I wonder if it would be worthwhile to make a demo set and leave 'em at a cabinet or kitchen shop with a stack of flyers and business cards?

Speaking of my uncle... this will make you guys cringe... He once built a complete kitchen out of solid birdseye maple. It was stunning. Then the client's wife insisted on having him whitewash the whole thing!! :barf: Bloody shame, but hey the customer is always right...
 
thanks, they are number 3 & 4 to date i havent been doing it that long, been an artist forever just started srimmin' though:D
I hadnt tried wildlife art in 20 years or so, did these for an outdoorsy friend of mine.
Corian works great its cheap and if ya dont like it ya can make coasters out of it or something, Dupont sells 5"x5" tiles for 2 bucks apiece

Ivan scrim is great looking
Corian works well. I have made a couple kitchen sets. I used the sink cut-outs for a cutting board. made knife handles and block to match.
 
Cool Ivan, I had a sneaky suspicion you must have had a background in drawing or something... no one makes stuff that pretty the first couple of tries! Keep it up, man.

Mr. Sharpe (you better thank your dad for such a cool last name :D) do you like the corian for a cutting board? Is it as nasty on edges as glass or marble? I've been recommending butcher-block wood or bamboo to my friends, so as to not beat the dickens out of fine edges. Let's be honest, average folks don't think twice about slamming their edge on the cutting board, or using it to drag diced onions across the surface... :rolleyes:
