I was wondering where you get cork to build up handles? What type is acceptable?

walmart in the office supply section, cork tiles.  Other office supply stores will have it as well.

If you want to make an easy job of wrapping it around a narrow radius get "gasket cork".  it is thin and fine grained.  Not as porous as the cork board stuff..

I saw some at hobby lobby but wasn't sure if it was what others used. I guess so!

Have used Dr Scholls feet pads with success but, alas, not super primitive.   ;)
