Hi John
No I didnt unfortunately, still looking.
The Axminster ones look about the closest I can find. Fromt memory they also seem to offer 'optics corks'... Cork would be my preference to be honest but not entirely sure how I would deal with the hole all the way through?!?!
Will continue my quest I guess!
John D Smith:
Hi Arcos,There is no problem with the the hole up the middle of the cork I think the size of the bore is 12.5 mm so buy yourself a length of dowel that diameter drill a hole in the wood that diameter or what ever you are using for your top about 15mm deep glue a piece of dowel with the length of the cork sticking out turn the top holding on the dowel when finished glue the cork on to the dowel. Best of luck I am sure you would find a method with diagrams if you googled it Regards John

Hi Arcos. I seem to remember in my dim and distant past, seeing something on a television programme that said that the artificial 'cork' for wine bottles was developed in Australia for their growing wine market. I also seem to remember that this was the only place to get it. That was a while ago so things have probably changed now. That may be a line of exploration to source this material. That's all I can add to this thread. Hope it helps. Malcolm.

Hi Arcos,
Might be worth having alook at Craft Supplies USA. Page 84 of 2011/12 catalogue shows some corks.
