This guy's in Oklahoma City - wants $25 for a 22"x32" piece.

Little too steep for me, here's the CraigsList link:

Jerry,

I thought that was a little steep until I checked Craig's list in Pittsburgh and found a guy who wanted to sell a 2'x12' piece(s) for $150. Since that's slightly over 4 times the size of the OK piece, the price should've been a little over $100, not $150. Of course I could drive to ick up the 12' piece but I don't think shipping would be that high for something 22x32. BTW, both pieces are 1/2" thick.

Don't know what you guys use this corian for but if it's for lithopane's isn't that a little thick? Just asking...

CJ - I use 1/2" all the time - the depth of the carve has to be .25" deeper than when you're using 1/4" (that way, you get the correct thickness you want for light to show thru).

cnsranch (http://forum.carvewright.com/member.php?4469-cnsranch) , If you think like I do , I use a piece 8" x 8 " for four coasters, at 22" x32" I can get 6 whole pieces at 8 x 8 and 8 at 4 x 4 which brings the total 8 total . The cost is now $3.12 per piece and considering I can get anywhere $15 to $20 for a set of coasters that looks like a good deal if the shipping is not out the window.
I might try to contact him myself.

Thanks
