10 Minute Mini Corkboard Enamel Pin Display
I was waiting for paint to dry, so to keep my hands busy I made this little cork board to display some of my and my partner's pins (yeah I know, it's pretty empty as-is). It's just cork adhered to a hardboard backing. I cut it out on the bandsaw.
Some related links I found:
- Cork, by all accounts I have found from 5 minutes of searching, is a pretty sustainable material link
- Cork is also derived from the bark of the Quercus Suber tree, which is a type of Oak tree!
- Harvesting the cork does not require cutting down the tree. The bark is removed, and the tree remains to continue growing
- Interesting Business Insider video on Cork Production in Portugal, the biggest producer of cork.
