Oct. Turning Challenge- Something Other Than Wood

[JD1137]

It's very plain.
It's the second one I did. The first one blew out cuz I went too thin on the walls. So this one has 1/4" thick walls.
10 pieces stacked up.

I'm guessing very dusty too............

Not very dusty at all but does make ribbons like epoxy … Corian is a brand name … a lot of companies make solid surface material… same as Corian … let me know if you have any more questions….
