I recently built a 10" Dob, and all the instructions on the internet suggested using cardboard tubing. I tried this, but realized that the cardboard tubing wasn't stable or accurate enough for my liking. So I built a tube out of wood for my telescope, three layers thick wrapped around to exact measurements. If anyone is interested, I could make more and sell them for a reasonable price, any size and length. Check the images attached...

Hi, I can figure out a price based on the size of the tube. I'm not so experienced at selling, so I have to figure out cost for material, labour, and delivery, I need some time to do an estimate. About what location will this be delivered to, if you decide for me to make one? Just so I can give you an accurate estimate with delivery included.
