FWIW, the Dimension cork grips are "beaver cork" - chips held together in resin. (even though they call them 100% cork). I'm sure after you shellac them, they would feel just great and hold together fine. I put Miesha's grips on my daughter's bike - they're made from fine cork rings, like the grip of a nice fly rod. They're cozy and stunning, both.
