Title: Anyone looking for cork to build rod handles?
Post by: Gooey on September 27, 2006, 01:40:58 PM

I have founds supplier in the US who seems to have fair better grade of cork for less than what the local shops charge.  I am building up a bunch of rods so if anyone else wants to jump in on my order of cork, it would be worth your while.

Have you taken a look at Russ' corks at Stryker? From the rods that I have and the corks that I've seen, they are quite good. Not sure about how competitive is his pricing though, as I don't build rods. I'm not sure why the prices are not on the website anymore, but you can always phone him for the latest prices:
