I started this project last night and made a couple of coasters. I used a sharp kitchen knife to cut the cork. You can indeed sand cork, it works pretty well (I just used regular sandpaper). I also hot glued the bottom of the coaster to cork shelf paper, to hold it together better and give it a smooth surface on the bottom. Then I cut around the edges of the cork shelf paper with an exacto knife so that it does not stick out.
