Upcycled wine cork boards

Here are some high resolution shots of some upcycled cork boards that I currently have for sale. If interested in puchasing one of these, check out my store on Etsy, shoot me an email, or visit Art & Decor at Surf City in April. New creations are always in the works at reclaimed! ~Ben

    If I sent you my corks (I live in NJ), would you frame them? It would be cool to have a board with all NJ wineries 🙂 I’m glad I found your blog – great work here!

      Hey Jennifer,

      Thanks for the compliments! Im interested in knowing how you found this blog/website? I’d be happy to frame corks that you’ve collected! How many do you have?

      Ben

        I found you by searching “wine” on WordPress 🙂 It’s one of my favorite topics! I don’t have as many corks as I used to have, but my collection is growing due to a project I’m working on. Check it out at bargainwinetime.com.

        Awesome! Neat blog! I like wine but enjoy beer more than wine. I’ll definitely follow your blog since I’m clueless when it comes to selecting wines to buy. I usually stick to a couple I like that use natural cork but as I collect more corks I find that I tend to choose new wines by the designs on their cork…I’m working to collect more corks from restaurants in the area to help stop them from going to the landfill.

        That’s a great idea! I know that Sharrott Winery (in Blue Anchor, NJ) collects corks for recycling. Perhaps you could contact them as well.

        I never thought about drinking wine for the corks 😉 Now that’s a new way to look at drinking!

        If you like beer, check out a blog called brewjersey.com. My husband is a home brewer, and he really likes this blog. Thanks again.
