This is where the cork in you bottle of wine comes from

The texture of the bark was amazing. Apparently the ancient Romans used to make sandals from it and having seen the stuff I imagine even in its rough state, a pair of sandals would be pretty comfortable. At this point in the shoot I think all of us thought a material from the stuff looks pretty impossible.

Another interesting fact; cork is a kind of oak tree.
