Makes nice kitchen countertops.    Seems like you could use it with a scroll saw if it doesn't chip too easy.

Someone in Foxton could use some if it's going.
Had a couple pieces 4x3 given me and cut some 3 inch crosses.

Jimbo,
Most use a blade with no reverse teeth. Polar # 5 is used a lot. Make sure you use the 2" package tape on the top of the pattern. This helps that it does not melt back together.

an issue of CWw&C had an intarsia type clown fish made of corian several years ago. 

And when I say several years ago, I mean roughly in 2000 or 2001
