Apparently during the lock down the latest fad is to make pictures using

So, a thinly disguised drinking game?
Ten years ago a friends of mine made a bathroom floor from old wine
corks cut into 1/4" slices, sanded on the upper side, glued down,
grouted, and covered with many coats of polyurethane varnish. There were
over 11,500 slices. The skirting boards were made of corks cut
lengthways. From the photos he sent it looked spectacular.
