How was the corian to cut? Thanks everyone for the kind comments. I found the corian to cut slowly and fused together after the cut, Had to go around twice to get it loose. I do not care for the look of it. Too flat. Not sure I will ever use it again. Now I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the puppy Marg I like the puppy also. I made four of them and was showing them to the wife of another woodworker and she said " you need a kitten one also". So I made two kitten ones. I need to make more of each before my sales year starts in June 2018. Edited January 6, 2018 by Jim Finn wombatie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Finn Posted January 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 The color depends on what woods I find in my scrap bin, to use. I do not plan to use any more corian. These images are on pine boxes so the oak I used in the bodies contrasts well, but I am not fond of the combination of cedar and oak. I plan to make cedar boxes, in the future, along with the pine. I will experiment a bit. You will notice the puppy image is different that the first one I posted. I forgot to put in the one walnut spot over his eye. Still works well, though. I wanted to get the two colors that were in the oak that I used for the kitty body so the grain is running vertical, on this one, not my normal way of doing that. barb.j.enders and meflick 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
