The individual borer is a hollow tube, tapered at the edge, generally with some kind of handle at the other end. </p><p>A separate device is a <i>cork borer sharpener</i> used to hone the cutting edge to more easily slice the cork. </p><p>Cork borers are also used to take samples from living trees, for <a href="/wiki/Tree_ring" class="mw-redirect" title="Tree ring">tree ring</a> analysis (dendrochronology), and for taking samples for experiments when a constant diameter is required, e.g. When testing the <a href="/wiki/Water_potential" title="Water potential">water potential</a> of a
