Premium Natural Cork Rings (1 1/4" / 32mm O.D.) – Flor, Extra & A Grades
🎣 The foundation of a perfect grip. Direct from the Portuguese forest to your lathe.
Whether you are crafting a custom fly fishing rod, restoring a vintage tool, or building a bespoke bicycle handle, the quality of your cork rings defines the final result. At CorkMart, we offer the complete spectrum of Portuguese cork grades—from the affordable Grade A & B- to the incredibly rare Top Flor Quality—so you can find exactly what your project demands.
✨ Understanding Our Cork Grades
Choosing the right grade is essential for your budget and finish. We sort our rings manually to ensure consistency:
🏆 Top Flor & Flor (The Collector's Choice)
The "Holy Grail" of cork. Extremely rare, with virtually no lenticels (pores) or flaws. Provides a velvety, marble-like finish. Ideal for high-end custom rods and exhibition pieces.
✨ Extra & Grade A (The Professional's Choice)
Excellent structural integrity and visual appeal. Contains small, tight lenticels that add character without compromising the smooth feel. The industry standard for premium fishing rods.
🛠️ Grade B- (The Value Choice)
Solid and reliable with more visible porosity and grain. Perfect for painted handles, working tools, or projects where a rustic, natural aesthetic is desired.
🇵🇹 Why Source from CorkMart?
Our rings are cut from raw cork planks harvested in Santa Maria da Feira, Portugal. Unlike bleached or chemically treated cork, ours retains its natural elasticity, color, and "grip"—essential for transmitting vibration from the rod blank to your hand.
