Thread: Quality Cork Coasters

    Quality Cork Coasters

    Greetings my mentors,

    I have been looking for some good quality cork coasters. The problem I am having right now is the easy and available coasters from Hobby Lobby or similar stores are very flimsy and may be great for mild use but the customers are wanting a more durable feel.

    So my questions:
    1. What is a decently durable thickness? 5mm?
    2. Who are good cork coaster suppliers?


    My questions for wood ones will be in a different post. Thank you.

    Do the big box Home Improvement stores near you stock cork in sheets or tile size? You have a laser, cut some out.
