Nice bow! Tips are mighty good looking.

No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

Nice bow Danzn It looks like Corian?  I have been wanting to try it too, I have a bunch but I couldn't get it to stick with CA.  Looks awesome.

If it's glacier white Corian, I've got a bunch of the stuff--just looked at the kitchen and bathrooms and I would estimate about eighty square feet, including backsplashes.  Don't think my wife will miss a couple of chunks here and there.  Might use it as a trade item!

Thanks guys.

I used super glue same as always. This stuff is more like horn or plastic than marble. It is much lighter.
