Yes, it's solid surface and cuts very nice. It takes a nice polish relatively easy.
I have a stock-pile of various solid surface from most of the manufacturers and several colors/patterns.

I really like using solid surface, it cuts cleanly and there isn't any need for a lot of finish work.
It's absolutely flat and isn't affected by the problems that plague other materials, so it can take very fine detail.
It can be used outside without a top coat and will last almost forever. The downside is it's pretty heavy compared to
most other materials.

Nice work, what is the copper filling process ?

It's just an engraving paste. It has fine copper dust in it and should patina naturally according to
the guy I got it from.

There is a product that I want to try someday (the name eludes me at this time), but it comes in
different patina's and is applied like a paint. It's a one step process, but I remember it being
a little expensive.

googled up "engraving paste" and went into instant sticker shock, plus they seem to be geared towards laser use.
