I have a lot of thin cork tile leftover from a scraped road project.

Any recommendation as to what terrain uses there are for this stuff?

Thanks

Stack up a bunch of torn pieces for rock formations

Matakishi uses tons of it for everything.

Take a look:

I found this on YouTube. This is an actual bark, so you may want to skip to the 9-minute mark where the crafting starts.

This was recommended to me by YouTube. For some reason, it was listed under "Cooking."

Not the cork I was talking about. I have the rolled up cork you get a Hobby Lobby.

That Matakishi site, while neat, doesn't show anything with cork usage, at least what little clicking I did.

I find they are great for making walls, amongst other things.

This tall wall for a 20mm chateau was cut from cork:

While all the buildings and walls for this 28mm Afghanistan table were all made from cork tiles:

While these low walls for 20mm games were made exactly the same way:

I've used that for fields or rough terrain for DBA/HOTTs. I don't do anything to it as it looks like soil to me except put some flocking in rows to make growing crops.

I've used it for ruins myself. It looks great with little effort.
