Anybody know where I could get some?They don,t use them in wine bottles any more?????
Stop buying cheap wine. :biglaugh:
fly tying on-line stores carry several sizes for making poppers...some are wine cork shaped others are taperd
Tim my friend I always have a few in my back pack.
Ask me next time we meet

Most any hardware store will have an assortment of cork stoppers.
Seriously....there was a guy in camp a while back that had some of those large bottle craft beers that had the wire and cork stopper.
I have to ask....for what purpose are the desired corks?
Burn the end and smudge on face.
well..after a good laugh, I'm gonna try that, gotta be better than camo grease I borrowed from the army 15 years ago...reminds of the story of some fellow that would role around in ashes from a camp fire to de-stink and camo up
Craft stores carry them.
I laughed out loud, Terry!
You got me on that one Terry....................
heck I thought he was serious
Most definitely serious; burnt cork is the old school method for face camo.

I bought some Bourbon with a cork and wooden stopper(Wild Turkey I think).I screwed a small screw in 35MM film canister lid and into wood and you can burn the cork and store it the can very neat.I also drank the bourbon.Kip
3Feathers, PM me your addy and I can send you some. Albert
Stores that sell wine/beer/cider making supplies should have them too. Then if you really are cheap like me, you buy just the cork only and go make your own hard cider.
Cork Camo is 4 real...It's more traditional then the "marykay" pack...
Tim i have a few DOZEN..... they are also found in higher end bourbon....
I would think most any fishing tackle store would have cork bobbers.
I get as much as I want. All I have to do is find something I want or need and then ask my wife if I get her favorite bottle of wine for her can I buy what I want! Most of the time that works, but takes along time in between bottles because one wil last a week.
Ken drinking something higher end..... :wavey: :wavey:
I bought a bunch of corks for 1" dip tubes from 3R a while back for .25 each, I see they have gone up. They are listed on the sale page

Don't do it!
Burnt cork is a carcinogen more correctly called carbon black and I encourage you NOT to use it
i know some would argue that you are only doing it in small doses and its insignificant etc why do something unnecessary that may have a negative health effect over time -when there's other stuff you can use?
If you insist make sure to use it outside and don't breathe the smoke that comes from the burn
I bought mine in the Hardware department at Lowes. They have multiple sizes.
I didn't realize that about being a carcinogen.
Just find a decent restaurant in your area that has a pretty active bar. Go by before the weekend and ask one of the bartenders if they have any laying around and if not, ask them to save you a few over the weekend. Most of them end up in the trash anyway and every now and then you will find a bartender that is saving them ... just ask for a few. If they don't clean very well...they may have a few laying around on the floor behind the bar.
Don't you get the burn smell?
I'm a cork oak producer! Major business in Portugal... Only a bit far from you otherwise I could get you as many as you want!

Isn't everything a carcinogen? The burnt parts of bbq, the coatings on out cookware, the sweetners in our Little Debbies?
I'm sure the glues, sprays and dusts that are inhaled and absorbed in the normal bow making process are worse than a bit of warm cork to the cheeks.
Patron has a nice big cork that I use
