I had a play about with a few pieces of Corian today and came up with this blank, its a mirrored effect with two different colours and white corian inlays, at the time i thought it looked ok, once glued i am not so sure ... :thinks:

How were you planning on using it, Jim? On a one-piece blank it would be lovely - remember that the white bands will appear oval on the circular barrel. If you're thinking of cutting each one in half to use as a two-part blank (barrel/cap) I'm not sure I could visualise the end result ... :thinks:
