As a returning rod builder with no previous with cork, I wanted a cheap cork to practice on. I found that if you put champagne corks in boiling water in a sealed jar a few times they lose their waste and become acceptable for this purpose.

There was a short article done few years back in RodMaker on using wine corks for rod handles.

You can yield qty6 to 9 grips from a $16 yoga block from fleabay. It'll look like a Loop grip. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
