https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQD4-dYiWZASeeing a stray cork from an old wine bottle sitting on my table gave me the inspiration to take a long anticipated journey though cork cells. Cork is made of soft, pliable wood from a tree. Manufacturers grind the wood into slivers and recompose them with a mold (at least I guess that's the process). The slivers in the cork essentially represent aged natural wood. I scraped small pieces of cork to make them thin enough to see cells under the microscope. It's a bucket-list journey for me.
Thanks for the research. This was obviously a mediocre, poor man's cork.
