Un-bleached cork rings

Anyone carry decent un-bleached cork rings? At times I do a lot of cork work, and am tired of sanding the faces of the rings first so I don't get the white ring lines.

Thanks,
Marc

Marc;
I don't know of anyone who sells unbleached cork, so I just toss mine in the sink , add hot water and dish soap and scrup them with a brush, that takes care of enuf of the bleach that I don't get white lines. I don't like sanding them, it rounds off the edges and then takes more pressure to clamp them tight.
