That is lovely. "Your spirit echoes  like a never ending dance. It stays with me  forever pirouetting across space and time" I swear that sometimes I catch a glimpse of loved furbabies running into the other room.

Here are images of one way of joining the seams. (These may be the images canuckplayer is referring to.) http://www.myestateofmind.com/images/blogs/032311_ww1.jpg http://www.aamericancountertops.com/add/countertop/corian/pict/108.Witch_Hazel/108.Witch_Hazel.3.jpg I did see a photo on a blog (sorry don't remember the name) of the seams joined the way you describe. IMO it didn't look that great. I think if the fabricator orders extra material, the seams can be joined in a way that looks nice. Of course, it would cost you more. Kind of like sewing with a fabric that has a pattern - you buy extra material if you want the seams to match - costs more but looks much nicer. It seems to me that you don't have to limit yourself to the color witch hazel in your search for photos of corian seams. It might help to search for any of the colors in the Corian "Private Collection" as most/all of them have a veining pattern with movement.
