To make an omlette, you have to... cut some cork?
I'm through cutting cork. Altogether, I have over 2050 individual pieces. That is enough to make a square board 45 tiles by 45 tiles. This works out to being about 27" square, which ends up being a bit smaller than I originally estimated, but adding more tiles is not really an option at this point.
Just some fun facts:
Each tile takes an average of 8-9 cuts to complete it's finished shape, which puts the total number of individual cuts over 17,000.
The total weight of all tiles is nearly 2 lbs. While the weight of the scrap is just over 3 lbs.
Each cork makes an average of 5-6 tiles, meaning roughly 350-375 corks were used in the production of the tiles. At one bottle per night, it would take you a full year to amass this number of corks from regular consumption.
