Not as cheesy as I had expected.

These photos of the finished body are the closest. Attachments polished01.jpg 146.2 KB · Views: 143 polished02.jpg 131.5 KB · Views: 168 polished03.jpg 149.2 KB · Views: 164

qquake Member Joined Feb 8, 2004 Messages 5,053 Location Northern California Dec 5, 2016 #4 No I didn't. The blank looked opaque to me, and apparently it is. The ends turned down pretty thin, but I can't see any evidence of the tube showing through. Attachments ends01.JPG 48.7 KB · Views: 115 ends02.JPG 50.5 KB · Views: 153
