Cork Supplies

[LHenno]

Hi guys

i was just wondering where you guys get your cork from, ive been ordering the already formed cork grips, but i really wanna shape my own, so i need to source a supply of cork, ive seen those cork rings you can order but they work out really dear so im looking for a cheaper alternative.

Thanks Luke

It all depends on the quality. This can be hidden by the use of fillers in preshaped and rings.
To make some cheaper grips which are composite use a hole saw and some good quality cork tiles another thing you can use is those cork sanding blocks a dollar or two at bunnings use the hole saw on them.

Sorry meant to say once cut out glue them together on a waxed piece of threaded bar with some washers and nuts, then turn them in a lathe, drill etc.
