That's prity cool! If i was a drinker or had a source for hundreds of corks there's loads of ideas to try! I have yet to try real core cork but it's on my list of things to do.

Pretty cool. Did you hear about his buddy who borrowed it and dinged it up on the rocks?

You could just stick a corkscrew in it for a handle.

From the bottom looking up water shot, you can see light thru the gaps between the individual corks?!
Are the gaps just filled with clear resin?
Surprised that sucker floats.

I hate it when wine snobs keep sniffing my board :P

Sheesh!  Performance differences based on boquet, varietals, age, bloom, sweetness, body, and color?

Just start a "cork recycling center" at your local Wine shop.

I love the creativity and design... very cool and unique.
