Ray, that particular blank is from Rockler. Many sources offer laminated blanks, this one is a bit busier than most. I noticed that the blue dye seems to leech out a bit during finishing. You can laminate your own blanks by glueing up thin slices and then making an angle cut. Glenmore sent me a half dozen Corian blanks. I discovered that the bottom tends to shatter when drilling so care is needed as you break through the bottom.(like the acrylic blanks) I finished the acrylic and Corian pens using MicroMesh sanding squares. You can find the kit at Woodcraft for about $20.
