festool domino and long seam corian

[jdm5]

Anyone have a source for 3/4 white corian in the Northeast US?  (I’ll also try local cabinet makers)

As the (off topic) poster I appreciate everyone’s input!

Any suggestions for a material not solid surface?  This is intended to be a higher end piece, so loath to consider MDF painted white.  But I guess I could find a nice contrasting wood - maybe something more exotic.

Why the MDF loathing ?

Looks like a European design , Italian if I had to guess, and they have zero qualms about lacquering MDF for that look.

Some might say that Corian is lowbrow material, being it's plastic like nature and not having been in vogue since the early 90's.

Just asked sorta the same question for corian and paperstone.  Did you go ahead with this?

I just saw this post, missed it for some reason.  If I were to try this, and I really like the look, I would use shallow rabbets in the wood combined with two dowels and epoxy.  Because of the dowels I would use at least 1" thick verticals.  It really would not matter which material was used for the shelves  If MDF or painted wood was used for the horizontals, dominos could be used.  No matter the construction method, great care would be required in moving.
