not really sure if you MEANT cubic in shape, 1 foot or longer per side, but…cork doesn’t really come in sizes that large. It’s stripped off of trees, and only a few inches thick at the most.

You’d have to do a glue-up if you wanted something of the stated size…

Search for cork carving blocks. Here is one example and another. They are pricey.

After just passing through Portugal, here’s what cork looks like naturally:

Granted, this is a smaller tree, but even the big ones don’t get much larger than 15-20 inches in diameter with bark only a couple of inches thick.
