It will take a little work to set this up but looks like it may work.

Put them on a threaded rod on a verticle drill press. set up a rest for someting like a drum sander. Hold the sander head in place and use the up down on the drill press to fed the cork edge into the sander. Assuming its not too long , this should work fine and get it round for you. once its round , just hold the sandpaper in your hand for the final finishing.
