I pulled about 25# of the stuff out of my local counter-makers dumpster for free. They told me to take as much as I could since they have to pay to have it hauled off. Porblem with that is you will need to find a sufficiently strong glue to join the pieces since they only use 1/4''. I am almost done on a skinner with some black /sparkle corian-I'm only at 150 grit in the handle polishing but it already looks unbeleiveable. I love that stuff so much. If you get some remember that a 200 degree oven for a few minutes will turn in pliable(watch the heat of your sanding equipment also)... I like to use that to cheat when I don't quite have a perfect plane on a full tang blade. I heat it, and clamp it to the handle and when it cools it fits perfectly over the metal and is ready for rivets and epoxy.
