Cheap cork handles

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.

Just put them in a microwave oven for 50 sec. and you will have a like new fullsize cork plug.

You can yield qty6 to 9 grips from a $16 yoga block from fleabay. It'll look like a Loop grip.
