These "turned" out way better than I thought.
They are all hybrids with stabilized red box elder (thanks to cactus juice) and alumilite.
The blue silver one is clear alumilite with blue dye with blue pearlex and clear alumilite with antique silver pearlex - approximately 80%/20% mix...
After ruining four blanks and one set of brass tubes.
It's not perfect. I took a divot out of the lower barrel trying to hurry removing the milling edges.
Back to the drawing board.
