I'm working on a case to carry the rod that my late brother gave to me just before he passed. It's a freshwater bait casting rod, about eight foot long that breaks into two sections. I'd like to make it out of wood covered with tooled leather.
Does anyone have nay experience with making wooden tubes, as for a telescope? I need a 2 1/2 inch ID x 28" long tube. I'd like to make it out of something light, like cedar. I was going to start experimenting with thin plywood formed around a PVC pipe.
Any suggestions? Does anyone know a local supplier for this type of thing?
I'm still working on my design, but I'd really like to work with a wood tube if possible.
