If I have more time I get the corkers out to show. It helps to have a drill press or dremel tool for smaller corks but if the cork shape is good by itself then just paint it and dress it. They look really great to.

I use some rather extra large cork to turn out some musky poppers by turning them to shape with sanding sticks I make up.

No they are not a PITA just cause some think so.

Afterall cork thumps the water better than everything I had use.
