Love all of them, but the bowls especially caught my attention.  I've got a bunch of 1/4" that I don't know what to do with.  What size of Corian did you use?  What glue did you use?  Inquiring minds want to know.

Bill the Corian was 1/2 thick and I used jelled super glue with about 20 second work time.

Great job on all!  How is the corian to sand??  I've got a couple of pieces and haven't done anything with them yet.

Julie, Corian sands easily but ... it makes a ton of baby powder fine dust.  So wear a mask.  Also you have to use more fine sandpaper than you would with wood.  For instance in most cases 220 would be acceptable for wood.  Not in Corian.  Since Corian is a plastic and a lot of the finishes we have will not stick well to plastics you will need to use sandpaper with very high grit number perhaps as high as 6000 to get that showroom finish we demand on our projects.  And yes they make 6000 grit and higher normally for working on plastic windows and things like that.

Since it is plastic, does it require a sealer?

Corain is a dense non porous material.  They make counter tops out of it because it does not need sealed.  So no Corain does not need sealed. If the surface is clear of oils and dust you may wish to put a coat of lacquer on it but if you sand it with the proper grit you will not need a finish.
