I can not cut -- unless I clamp on some sort of brace of wood or metal and cut buy hand So I thought some might have some I could buy just to check out
Nice to have wood working saws And a Real Lath to bore it out

I have heard Yoga blocks mentioned here before. What the heck are they? Some sort of foam ? Where do you get them.

Foam and Cork blocks used in Yoga Workouts If i can ( because of a poor mans lath ) get some cut into 1 1/2 ' blocks and borded I was going to try using as a cork block and add rings and such

Try a google search them

yes they can and have been used. cut into turning squares on a band saw is the easiest way

That is why I have asked
Don't have the Room for a band saw or any type of saws

Bill, you can buy bulletin board type cork at several stores. I've seen it up to 1/4" thick. Might be another option.

I tried them and don't like them even a little bit. When they're reduced to grip size and bored out they are to soft for my liking. Softer and more flexible than EVA.

Bill, PM sent

+1 on Dons comment,might be good for inlays.

Cork floor tiling is nice and firm. Makes a fairly tight grained, rock hard grip. It also looks stunning with 2 coats of Tru-Oil. I get the 1/4 inch stuff.

Bill,
Get some Yoga blocks and take them to a friend's house who has a band saw and have him cut the blocks up into working sized blocks.

If you were closer, I would be happy to do it for you.

Roger

Good idea Roger
I probably could figure out how to cut them buy hand But got some coming my way
If I like them I will figure how to cut Where there is a will - there is a way

Bill,
Just swing by a cabinet shop.
I am sure that they will slice up the blocks for you for little or nothing.

I will try to remember that Roger
After I see if I like them I have herd they are SOFT

yoga blocks is made with low quality cork and the density is to low, i think after to try to do a disc this disc isn't beauty and perfect, because this blocks are made with diferent resins and low consistense cork.
