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.

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.

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.
