That is going to be fantastic! The large pet stores are an excellent source of mounting material.

WOW that's a hunk!!!

I bought some cork slabs from Jims Orchid Supply (a sponsor) and he had several sizes with him at WOC. Im sure you all could contact him to see what he has and just cut some into smaller pieces. That's what I did for a couple. I found some on Ebay and although it was the size they stated it was not very thick. I'll stick to my suppliers. Green Barn has some too. Supply changes all the time. My chids love the cork!!
