Cork Bark

Cork Bark from Portugal is mostly used for cork boards, wine corks, and cork flooring. In its natural state the bark is very lightweight and uniquely decorative. The bark is also a renewable resource. It is stripped from the trees, but the inner bark is left behind. After about 9 years new bark has regrown and the process is repeated.

In addition to the sizes pictured, I have smaller pieces starting as low as $20.

All florals that we use are preserved in glycerin for flexibility and long life. They do not fall apart and "shed" as most drieds do. For details on these florals, please visit GarySilva.com.

All shells retain their natural colors. Some may be polished, but none are dyed or painted.
