Massive blocks of cork

2 giant blocks of cork just arrived on my doorstep, having come all the way from Portugal. This was not a surprise, but I didn't realize how heavy and difficult to maneuver they would be (25x37x8" and 70 lbs each).

So now I am faced with 2 questions: first, how the heck to cut them, and second and more important, what to make!

    Well done choosing cork! It's an amazing material and choosing it is choosing an healthier and sustainable Nature. We are an online store specialized in the commerce of cork products from Portugal, and for what we've seen on the market there are now plenty of high quality sollutions of cork tableware and lighting, but there is almost none inovative and high quality design of fashion products. I really liked your "Um" bag collection so I suggest you to make the same or similar versions in cork. The cork bag designing is still very traditional, and I think your design style would make huge success.
    Have a look in our website to have some ideas about cork design: http://www.corkway.com
