Posts: 231 07/01/2009 13:40	Tags : None I have read that the best cork goes to the champagne industry. With that in mind, I would like to make some really nice cork grips. So, next time I go to make a grip, I am first going to the wine shop and buy about 12 to 15 bottles of their finest champagne. I will then proceed to open each bottle, consume the contents and saw off the larger portion of the cork. Pretty soon I should have some of the finest cork rings available. That is gonna be one beautiful rod. I will keep everyone posted on the progress of this project as I will need some help with consuming the contents. Maybe I will just have a little party. You are all invited. Aaron Wiener

Posts: 76 07/03/2009 00:14	The best cork does indeed go to the wine industry....... The champagne market getting the best. The largest importer of corks in the US imorts in the region of 100 million corks a year, and they are not interested in the rod building industry in any way, shape or form. A noble endeavour doing the necessary saving of corks............... even though wine corks are cut on a bias (90 degrees), compared to rod corks. The only commercial rodmaker who used corks like this was Horrocks-Ibbotson, they abandoned the idea. Hope springs eternal........
