Yes to cork wrap and a top wrap with cloth. Experimenting with it and so far I like it. Goal was having padding but retain a vintage look. Also found a high quality nylon / cloth weave (in black) at Joanne Fabrics chain store. Ideal and appropriate bar wrap width. In addition, purchased at the same store a very tacky yet thin, double stick tape. No topping of shellac. Material appears durable and would expect some decent longevity. My out the door cost for all was approx. $7. Sorry for the poor pic and its just a crop from zoom image.




edit: Joanne Fabrics has the same material in rolls of different colors. I have a few other projects in the works and probably will try the same but full bar wrap. Next time at the store will pull the SKU's including brand of double stick tape (not Scotch brand).
