Answer 1

I have seen coffee tables with corks covering the top and a sheet of glass on top.  Looks fantastic!!

Answer 2

I've seen some bulletin boards made by lining up corks from wine and gluing them in place.  I think they even sell kits for this, includes everything you need except the corks.

Answer 3

one of my friends made a backing for his dartboard out of corks... it's bad ***! he has his board centered on plywood and cork all around it. it works great for keeping darts from hitting the wall during those drunkin' games.

If you can't find anything to do there are places that recycle cork... they apparently make for good flooring.

Answer 4

you have a great display, I re-use my corks, i have a great wine recipe, and refill the bottles with spirits.  I buy used corks at a local 'off the vine' lounge.  maybe you will sell yours?
