Some put brass tubes on the inside, but this one looked better on the outside. Coral Red ebonite from exoticblanks.com

If you need more tubes, I've got a few that are looking for a "better position."

Very attractive 'styling'. Now this type of filagree (?sp) I do like. Fantastic workmanship.

Very cool, a 360 degree herringbone tube! Beautiful work Bruce. Can you unscrew the finial and remove the tube, or is it glued in place?

The bottom section is a 2 piece press fit. Its pretty tight, but can be removed. I had thoughts of having the tube and clip gold plated so I haven't glued the sections together. Think I want to make a few more before I take that step possibly redoing the clip and extending the herringbone on the tube a little more.

That's one of the first closed ended designs I've seen that I really like. Awesome!
