| OK, now that I have got my misunderstanding straightened out about the two materials that Sandra sent me I tried one with the bamboo flooring . It was only 1/2" thick so it required acurate drilling of the holes but that was no problem by drilling them on my lathe. W.Y.

| If you ever get your hands on some real cork, you will not be able to mistake it. It is very spongy and can not be stabilized. Thin CA will barely penetrate the surface. It will be difficult to drill, not impossible, but it will want to tear out and blow out as it is so soft and spongy. When you spin it it will tear easy and it sure won't appreciate a barrel trimmer. Usually people will put a solid piece of wood to the two ends for barrel trimming and that also helps with turning the thinner areas, so it's more of a segmented pen with cork in the middle. When it gets close to size, it's best to finish taking it down with sandpaper on a stick. On the plus side though, if it blows out, you can glue it back together and nobody can tell the difference! Oh...I did see a guy suggested using an exacto knife, and I think that's a brilliant idea. You can just spin the two wood ends to size, trim the cork with the exacto knife and then sand it with a stick and paper. It will take a CA finish over the top no problem, it just wont penetrate much at all. Kinda like nature's rubber I guess.
